APT Taiwan II 2019 Main Event


Jinho Hong sends one out, rises to 225k

Level: 11 Blinds: 500-1000 Ante: 1000

Chip leader Jinho Hong continues to dominate early in Day 2. At the end of the opening round, he chipped up to 200k and just added more after sending out Shinryo Nonin. On a flop J 10 3 and 8k in the middle. Cutoff Hong bet 15.5k, one player check-folded, Nonin check-called for all his chips.

Hong A J top pair higher kicker
Nonin K J two pair

The turn was 4 and river Q. Hong up to 225k.


Yo Hwan Lim doubles up

Level: 11 Blinds: 500-1000 Ante: 1000

Two-time APT decorated champion Yo Hwan Lim got lucky again! Yesterday, Lim shoved on his big blind with several limpers hoping to see the pot. He was called by one player who held A-K. Lim sheepishly showed 5-3. Then the board came down favoring Lim to improve him to a full house to stay in the game.

Once again, he caught a lucky break to avoid the rail. He three-bet pushed with A J and initial raiser Po Cheng Yang called with A Q. The board ran 9 6 4 J 2 for a pair and a double up.
