APL Main Event (65,000 PHP)

A button vs blind back and forth saw Edwin Dela Cruz four bet jam his entire 29,600 (29 BB), challenged by James Moriles for a showdown.

Dela Cruz in rough shape, turned the tables after board T♥ 6♥ A♦ 7♠ 8♣ landed him two pair to dodge a potential bust.

Just right after sending Jimin Choo to the rails with Q♦ Q♥ against the latter's J♦ J♠ , Moriles was seen entangled in another pot straight away.

Moriles looked up Shinya Fukutomi's 9,600 jam with K♠ Q♣ and was up for a flip against the Japanese' 9♥ 9♠ .

Board K♦ 7♣ 5♥ 8♠ J♥ landed Moriles' way, knocking another off the Day 1B counts.

Three players were seen vying for the 10,300 pot in the middle across board 6♠ J♥ 9♣ Q♣ . James Moriles led 7,600 off the big blind, pushing one player out. Yoo Gyeong Tae however, responded with an all-in for 14,000 more, to which Moriles gladly obliged.

Yoo K♠ Q♠

Moriles K♥ T♠

Crushed against the nut straight, Yoo exited the arena shortly after river 5♠ sealed his fate.

James Moriles opened utg and called Rancy Lee's button jam for 12,300 (25 BB).

Lee dominated, found some hope of a flush on flop 3♠ J♠ T♦ , but bricked the runout 8♥ 3♦ , sending him out a second time around.

Preflop action between Jariah Waring and James Moriles brewed a pot of 12,800 in the middle. On flop K♥ 5♥ 7♦ , Moriles took the initiative with a bet of 5,700, only to give it up shortly after Waring pushed for 21,600 more.
