Championship Warm Up ($600)

Vietnam’s Nguyen Duc Thanh opens from utg to 12,000 and the action is folded all the way to the bb where Amin Riyazati of Australia decides to make his final bid for Day 2 by executing a 3-bet shove for his remaining 56,000. Nguyen decides to call.

Riyazati shows A♣ 5♠ which percentage-wise is ahead of Nguyen’s K♠ J♠ .

The flop gave the Australian some reason to be hopeful but it also came with reasons to doubt: A♠ 2♠ 9♥ . Despite hitting top pair, Riyazati now has to dodge any spade, which did not happen as the 7♠ made him drawing dead nd the river card added insult to injury by bringing out the A♥ .

Amin Riyazati of Australia opens from the hijack for 10,000 and gets re-raised by Korea’s Jae Jun Han to 26,000. Riyazati calls.

The flop is J♠ 7♠ 9♠ as Jae continues for 20,000. The Australian still calls. The turn is the 3♣ and this time, the Korean fires 70,000. Riyazati opts to fold.

With the board already on the turn showing 9♣ T♠ T♥ 4♣ and 15,500 in the middle, India’s Aditya Sushant checks his option from the lojack as Amin Riyazati of Australia fires 10,500. Sushant makes the call. The river is the J♣ as the Indian checks. Riyazati then moves all-in and Sushant cannot call
