Final Day
Giam Jian Hui out in 16th for PhP260,000 (~US$4,498)

In dire need of a double up, Singapore's Giam Jian Hui goes all-in for his remaining stack of 275,000 from the +2 position. The action is folded to the SB where Filipino Sergius Santos--apparently still miffed over his recent loss--makes the call.
Player | Hand | Chips |
---|---|---|
SS Sergius Santos | Q♠9♠ SB | 1,020,000(41 BB) |
JH Jian Hui Giam | 3♥3♠ MP | busted |
Santos' demeanor quickly changed from glum to upbeat after getting trip queens of his own leading to a full house to put him back over the one million mark.
Tjan's rockets crush Tomoyuki Yoshimiya's 9s
With the action folded to the D, Malaysia's Joshua Tjan raises to 25,000 and gets 3-bet by on the SB by Giam Jian Hui of Singapore for 65,000. Meanwhile, Japan's Tomoyuki Yoshimiya makes a 4-bet all-in to 337,000. Tjan snap calls for his remaining 270,000 as Giam opts to fold.

JH Jian Hui Giam | SB | 404,000(34 BB) |
TY Tomoyuki Yoshimiya | 9♦9♠ BB | 67,000(6 BB) |
The T♠ appearing on the turn was a sweat card for the Malaysian but in the end his aces hold for a much needed double up while Yoshimiya's stack is now on the respirator.

Jian Hui Giam forces Shen Xianchao out of pot

Min Ji Hyun of Korea opens the action from the CO for 10,000 and gets two callers in China's Shen Zianchao in the SB and Singapore's Jian Hui Giam in the BB.
The flop comes 7♣ K♦ J♦ as all check. The turn is the Q♦ and Shen leads out for 18,000 but gets raised to 45,000 by Jian as Min, the original raiser, folds. Shen takes his time and consumes three Time Bank cards in making his decision and ultimately folds.
