Vivek Rughani pays out a couple; Shashank Jain doubles up

Level: 16 Blinds: 3000-6000 Ante: 6000

Vivek Rughani was moved to Table #2 and instead of raking it in like he did at Table 11, he has been paying out. We caught a couple of his losing hands.

Tommy Luong

First hand, he was in a raised pot preflop with Tommy Luong. The flop ran 2 6 J, Rughani bet 15k and Luong called. On the 9 turn, Rughani bet 30k and Luong called again. On the 2 river, both players checked. Rughani opened A K and was behind Luong’s 4 4.

Shashank Jain

Next hand, Rughani called Shashank Jain’s all in. Rughani was ahead with 9 9 against Jain’s Q 9 however, the board ran 8 5 2 10 Q for a higher pair spiked on the river to award Jain the double up.


Min Dan rails Hung Sheng Lin

Level: 15 Blinds: 2500-5000 Ante: 5000

Min Dan

Min Dan has sent one of the decorated APT Main Event champions out of contention. Her victim, Hung Sheng “Shaq” Lin. His final hand saw him move all in with his short stack on the button and sb Min Dan called.

Shaq K 6
Min Q Q

The board came out very dry to send all the chips to Min. She now has 350k.


Sajal Gopta scoops while railing Nguyen Hoang Bach

Level: 15 Blinds: 2500-5000 Ante: 5000

Action has been wild at table # 9, and just moments ago, one player bit the dust. Nguyen Hoang Bach raised preflop, sb Sajal Gopta three-bet, and Bach called. At the flop 8 3 6, Gopta led for 35k and Bach called. On the 2 turn, Gopta shoved sending Bach tanking for some time. After trying to get a read on Gopta, Bach called for his tournament life.

Gopta Q Q
Bach J J

Though Bach was behind, he did have a flush draw. The river K was not the card he needed and was eliminated. Gopta climbed to 400k.
