APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Four players built a pot of approximately 11,000 on a K♥ 8♥ 6♠ flop. Action checked to Lars Kamphues, who fired a bet of 3,500.

Jakub Wojtas quickly folded, but Lifu Huang and Florencio Campomanes, in the big blind and middle position, respectively, opted to call.

With three players still in, the 9♦ landed on the turn. Once again, the action checked to Kamphues, who ramped up the aggression with a bet of 19,000. Huang made the call, while Campomanes decided he had seen enough and folded.

Now heads-up, the 5♦ river saw Huang check for a third time. Kamphues wasted no time in applying maximum pressure, sliding out a massive 33,000 bet.

Huang tanked for a moment but ultimately laid down his hand, conceding the pot to Kamphues without a showdown.

Lifu Huang opened to 1,600 from middle position, only to face a three-bet to 4,000 from Weiran Pu in the big blind. Wasting no time, Huang moved all-in, and Pu snap-called.

Lifu Huang: A♠ A♦

Weiran Pu: A♣ K♠

The dealer spread a 2♥ T♦ T♣ flop, keeping Huang’s pocket aces in the lead. The Q♠ turn gave Pu additional outs, but the 9♥ river sealed his fate, sending him to the rail as Huang raked in the pot.
