#2 Flight A (20,000 PHP)

Christopher Mateo Bags Flight A Lead

The first of three entry flights of the Okada Kick Off attracted 137 runners with only 20 players advancing to the ITM round. For much of the day, local star player / 2024 APPT Cambodia champion Christopher Mateo towered over the field as the clear chip leader heading into the bubble. Though he lost ground after doubling up two opponents, Mateo still held the lead when Mc Yeldarb Mantos burst the bubble in brutal fashion, completing a straight on the river with A♣ Q♠ to crack Pablo Battista's J♣ J♦ trips on a board T♣ J♠ A♥ 8♠ 9♣ . Mantos bagged 323,000 (40 BB), just one small blind shy of Mateo’s 325,000 (40 BB) at the end of play.

Flight A closed at 4000-8000 ante 8000 blinds.
