PokerStars Red Dragon (70,000 PHP)

This now guarantees that the seven players left are guaranteed PhP750,000 (~US$12,976).

Takashi Yagura of Japan opens from the CO for 85,000. On the D, Taiwan's Carlos Chang goes into the tank and uses two of his newly acquired Time Bank cards before deciding to call. Sergius Santos of the Philippines also calls from the BB.

The flop comes 8♠ 5♥ 7♥ as Santos checks. Yagura CBets to 140,000 and Chang makes the call. Santos now goes into the tank and utilizes a Time Card in the process before opting to step aside.

The turn is the T♠ and Yagura takes time to ponder his next move. The Japanese player uses a Time Bank card and then declares he is all-in for 665,000. Chang now burns a third Time Bank card to contemplate his next move. He decides to err on the side of caution and folds.

Yagura draws first blood.

The player eliminated will be pocketing PhP510,000 (~US$8,824).

The next bust out will be receiving PhP425,000 (~US$7,353).

Carlos Chang of Taiwan opens from UTG to 60,000 and the action gets folded around all the way to the BB where Japan's Go Saito 3-bets all-in for his remaining 235,000. Chang makes the call.

The 7♣ on the flop was a sweat card for Chang who managed to evade the six outs his Japanese opponent required on the last two community cards. The Taiwanese player also gets an infusion of chips.

Everyone still in is guaranteed PhP350,000 (~US$6,055).

Si never rivered his gutshot and Saito failed to hit his two-outer as the triple up now puts the Taiwanese in good shape for a deep run.
