Final Day
Tomoyuki Yoshimiya out in 18th for PhP225,000 (~US$3,893)

John Joseph Panish of the United States opens from the HJ for 40,000 and gets called by Malaysian Joshua Tjan. In the BB, Tomoyuki Yoshimiya of Japan re-raises all-in for his remaining 45,000. Panish and Tjan call to double team.
Both players opt not to create a side pot as they check down the board of J♠ 7♠ 2♥ and then A♦ J♣ .
Panish shows K♦ Q♠ while Tjan tables 9♥ 9♠. Yoshimiya busts holding 6♥ 6♠ .
Tjan is now a legitimate contender for the chip lead anew.
