APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Hsuan-Cheng Lai raised to 1,200 from under the gun and received calls from Kunal Patni on the button and Ka Wai Cheung from the big blind.

Three players read a flop of Q♦ 9♥ A♠ , and Cheung checked the action to Lai, who bet 2,200. Only Cheung made the call to see a 7♥ land on the turn, where Cheung check-called again after Lai bet 4,500.

The river carried out the K♦ , and the action went check-check. Cheung quickly tabled a pair of queens with Q♥ 8♥ , but it still couldn’t rival a higher pair of aces from Lai’s A♥ J♥ .
