Beattie Doubles With Kings

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

After an open from Jungsil Kim to 1,500, Kelvin Beattie three-bet all in for 9,300. Another player re-raised all in for close to 20,000 and Kim folded.

Kelvin Beattie: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The board came {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and Kim banged the table in frustration as Beattie doubled up.

Two Nationals in a Row?

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Liang Song Lifting the Trophy of 2019 APPT National Jeju
Liang Song Lifting the Trophy of 2019 APPT National Jeju

This is exactly what Liang Song will try to achieve here in Manila. He came off his recent win in 2019 APPT National Jeju for $49,600, and now he plays the National event in 2019 APPT Manila, only one month after his previous win.

His job won't be easy though, since he is already left with 6,000 in chips after a lost all in preflop with threes versus his opponent's tens.

He will have his chances, since there is an option for a single re-entry today, while he can still register tomorrow for Day 1b if he busts.

River Hands Lee More Chips

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

On a {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} turn , one player checked to Gyeong Byeong Lee who bet 4,800. His opponent then check-raised to 12,800 and Lee called.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Lee watched as his opponent shoved all in for 11,000.

Lee took his time but eventually called. His opponent showed {j-Spades}{q-Spades} for trip queens, but Lee had rivered bottom full house with {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and sent his opponent to the rail.

Not the Best Spot for Kim

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Gab Yong Kim was facing his opponent's all-in for 25,400 with the flop showing {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. After some tanking, Kim made the call with {j-Spades}{2-Spades} for top pair, and saw the bad news when his opponent showed {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for an overpair.

The {6-Hearts} on the turn and the {a-Hearts} on the river didn't change anything rather than improving the hand of Kim's opponent, and so the South Korean player is down to 28,000 in chips.

Small Double, But What a Double for Nguyen

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Quang Nguyen had gotten it in for his last 7,000 holding {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} but had run into the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} of an opponent.

"Yesterday I lost seven times with two or three-outers," he said as the flop came {2-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}. He perked up at the sight of the {10-Clubs} on the turn and the {9-Clubs} river gave him a king-high straight and he scored a small but meaningful double to around 15,000.

The River Drifts Clinkscales to the Rail

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Rex Clinkscales
Rex Clinkscales

Rex Clinkscales found the perfect spot to double up but the deck had other plans. He shoved all in on the flop for 24,200 in chips, with the board reading {j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}, after a bet for 2,200 and a raise to 10,000 chips.

The initial bettor folded his hand, but the raiser called after some time in the tank, including a question to Clinkscales if he held five-four.

Rex Clinkscales: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Clinkscales' top pair was ahead of his opponent's middle pair, with the {8-Diamonds} on the turn keeping this lead for the American player.

The {10-Hearts} on the river though was one of the cards he didn't want to see, and he left his seat with an expression of surprise on his face.

Trips and 100k for Shaham

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Eran Shaham picked up a sizeable pot that catapulted him to 100,000 in chips. The hand was in the river when we reached the table, and Shaham had bet 15,000, in a 35,000 chip pot.

His opponent was deep in the tank, and another player at the table asked for time. The floor manager reached the table and started counting, with Shaham's opponent making the call in the last seconds.

He didn't keep his cards in his hand for a long time though, since Shaham showed {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for trips that earned him the pot.
