APL Main Event (65,000 PHP)

Dongwook Lee opened 3,000 utg, raised by Benjamin Jacobs a seat after to 8,500. Player on the hijack cold called, and followed with a squeeze from John Constiniano on the big blind to 25,000.

Action back to Lee, he raised all-in for 108,800 total and easily scooped up all the dead money in the middle unchallenged.

Registration will be open for late entrants, all the way before the start of Day 2.

Top Chip Counts

Having gotten his aces cracked just a few hands earlier, Benjamin Jacobs got entangled with Ferdinand Lu once more.

This time with a pot of 40,000 centered around board 3♠ 2♠ J♦ 9♥ K♦ , Jacobs faced an all-in from Lu for his remaining 43,300. Jacobs called off with top pair K♠ 4♠ and bagged the win as Lu showed T♦ T♠ , earning him back what he lost along with some change.

A pot of 13,500 was centered round the middle on flop 5♥ A♥ 7♦ , with three way action seeing Benjamin Jacobs continue for 3,800, called by a player behind. Ferdinand Lu on the small blind, went for a check raise to 7,800 and saw Jacobs respond with an all-in. Only Lu was up to the challenge, risking his 33,400 stack with a combo draw.

Jacobs A♠ A♣

Lu 8♥ 4♥

Drawing to several outs, Lu one found one on runout 8♦ Q♥ for the win, sending Jacobs' rockets flying towards the muck.

Benjamin Jacobs opened 2,000 on the hijack and was called behind by John Niko Constiniano on the button.

On flop 2♦ 8♣ 6♠ , Jacobs continued for 2,000, raised by Constiniano to 6,000. Jacobs completed, yet gave it up shortly after Constiniano went for another 10,500 on turn 8♦ .
