Tetsuya Tsuchikawa eliminated!

We are giving you the final hand of the Main Event.

Action began with Tsuchikawa raising it up to 220K and Pham called.

At the flop of 5♠ 2♦ Q♠, Pham checked and Tsuchikawa laid a continuation bet of 100K only to get raised to 250K. Tsuchikawa called.

On the turn of 7♦, Pham took the reins and slid out 450K worth of chips and Tsuchikawa calmly called.

Then on the river of 5♣, Pham wasted no time announcing he was all in putting Tsuchikawa at risk for his tournament life. Tsuchikawa debated this move and asked the tournament director if he needed to show his hand if he called and lost. With a negative on that, Tsuchikawa called the all in and Pham showed Q♥ 7♥ for two pairs. Tsuchikawa mucked and the crowd roared. Pham eliminated Tsuchikawa and has claimed the final Main Event trophy and championship of APT 2014.

Tsuchikawa goes home with PHP1,818,000 for his runner-up finish.
