Vietnam's Thanh Ha Duong took down the APPT Season 8 Manila Main Event last year at the Metro Card Club across town in dramatic fashion, coming from way behind against massive chip leader Michael Guzzardi to get the job done.
Apparently it's going to take another comeback for Duong to defend his title here at City of Dreams, as he busted his first bullet here in Level 4 and just fired a second one moments ago, taking the same seat he had just left behind.
He was not welcomed in a very friendly way after raising to 750 from the hijack and receiving a call from the player in the big blind. The first continuation bet worth 850 on the 
flop was check-called by his opponent before Duong bet-folded the 
turn to a shove.

Dhaval Mudgal grinned when we walked past the table 23 and noticed that seat two had changed the appearance quite a lot. In fact, that was not katsuhiro Muto anymore. "Busted off. Within three hands," the Indian added ... . Well, that didn't last long.
