APL Main Event (65,000 PHP)

Following the loss, Edilberto Gopez chucked in his remaining 415,000 on the small blind and was looked up by Paul Zehetleitner right behind.

Board 2♠ 9♣ 7♥ 8♣ 6♣ ran dry for both, leaving Zehetleitner's ace-high good for the bust.

Edilberto Gopez open raised all-in utg and saw Renato Villanueva Jr call off his 740,000 stack right on the big blind.

Gopez dominated, spiked his two outer on the flop, yet booked the loss shortly after Villanueva landed a queen on the turn for a better set to take it down.

With only 26 players remaining, the final three tables are due for a seat redraw. Only nine runners will advance to the Final Day, where the hunt for the APL Main Event title continues.
