PokerStars Red Dragon (70,000 PHP)

A series of mishaps led to the stack of Germany's Martin Sedlak to get depleted and finds himself going all-in from UTG for his last 220,000. This is the very next hand after the exit of China's Li Zhe. Everybody folds until it gets to the BB of Frenchman Aladin Reskallah who opts to call.

None of the German's live cards appeared to save him from elimination as now the five players remaining are all bonafde Philippine millionaires as the next person out will receive PhP1,260,000 (~US$21,799).

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

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

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

Germany's Martin Sedlak open from the CO for 45,000 and gets 3-bet all-in by Wu Di of China for 410,000. Sedlak makes the quick call.

Sedlak is now among the chip leaders and continues to rise towards the twilight of the tournament.

From UTG, Korea's Jeong Seonghun sends his 70,000 stack to the middle and gets called by Martin Sedlak of Germany on the D.

Jeong was drawing dead on the turn as the German now nears the one million chip territory.
