A lucky double up for the lone female in the field. Action saw utg+1 Solomon Lee raise to 3500, sb William Kang called, bb Lauren May Watts shoved, Lee shoved as well, Kang folded.
Watts A♠ 8♠
Lee A♥ Q♣
The board ran 3♣ 5♥ 10♣ 8♣ 10♦ for a pair spiked by the lady. She doubled up to 60k while Lee dropped to 30k.
Button Jimmie Javier raised to 3500, big blind Chen Dajza three-bet to 11k, Javier called.

On the turn Q♥, Chen bet 11k, Javier called. The river J♣, Chen sent out 30k, Javier tank-folded.
APT Korea Seoul 2019 Championships Event winner is here in Vietnam to defend his title. Punnat Punsri is the most recent Championships Event winner.
