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.

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.

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.

Ysmael Sends Yong Straight Out of the Tournament

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

William Ysmael opened to 1,800 and got one call before Lee Wang Yong three-bet all in for 6,500 Ysmael four-bet enough to force the other player out of the hand and the cards were turned over.

William Ysmael: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Lee Wang Yong: {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Yong picked up a pair on the {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop but the {8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} runout gave Ysmael a queen-high straight. Yong chuckled and got to his feet, eliminated from the National.
