Yesterday, Lauchlan Swann was in action in the Platinum Player Championships and narrowly missed out on a spot in Day 2 despite flopping a royal flush during the day's play.
Today he's back in action in the APO Main Event and defended his big blind from an open to 600 from Yuanting Wang.
The flop was Q♦3♥6♦ and Swann check-called 600 from Wang. The turn J♦ was checked by both players, with Wang quickly folding after Swann bet out 1,200 on the 3♦ river.

Action was on the flop of 2♦2♠8♣ with over 24,000 chips in the middle barely half an hour into the first level of the day (100/200).
Michael Brahim was in the small blind and continued for 10,000. Kiavash Arbabi called and the pair checked down the 3♥5♦ river.
"Queens," announced Brahim Q♥Q♦ while Arbabi just looked at his cards. "Jacks?" asked Brahim.
Arbabi tabled A♦8♦. According to the table, Arbabi had intended to raise to 500 from under the gun but had accidentally misclicked to 5,000 before Brahim three-bet to 12,000 from the small blind.
