APPT Manila Championship (165,000 PHP)

The action is folded to the D of Beum Chun Jun of Korea and he raises to 50,000. IN the BB, Malaysia's Jason Lau 3-bets to 175,000. Beum then 4-bets all-in and is quickly called by Lau for his remaining 450,000.

Beum's flopped set had Lau drawing dead on the turn and the Korean breaches the three million chip mark.

Former overall chip leader John Edward Perry of Australia has dropped all the way to eighth place in the first leaderboard update of the day. Fellow Australian Thomas Ward now occupies the top spot as he and Filipino pro Lester Edoc are the only ones breaching the two million chip mark at the moment.

Chip counts at end of Level 22:

Takayama lost his lead for good on the turn and in turn enters push or fold territory.

The 28 players remaining will reconvene on Saturday (October 26) at 12NN (UCT+8) and will play down to the Final 6 players.

Lau catches running cards to stay alive on a sick beat against the Australian.

Wai Kit Jason Lau made the 6,00 min-raise from under the gun and was called by small blind Xiaohua Fu and big blind Pham Bao. All three players are shown a flop of T♦ 2♣ 2♦. Fu opened with 8,000. Bao got out of the way, but Lau pumped it up to 18,000. Fu completed to see a 5♠ on the turn. Fu checked and Lau pushed 66,000 chips to the middle. Fu folded.

Yuanning Wu made the 2,400 min-raise from under the gun and got called by Juyeol Lee at the button and Wai Kit Jason Lau at the big blind. The three players were shown a flop of 5♣ 2♣ 4♣. Action was checked to Wu who bet 2,200. Lee and Lau called to see an 8♦ turn. All players checked to reaech a 4♠ on the river. Lau bet out 22,200 with Yuanning the only one to call. Lau peeled over 4♥ 4♦ for quads. Yuanning just said "wow" and mucked.
