After Lukasz Jankowski won his second ticket, he was down to less than a big blind and busted shortly after. That left 9 players, all of them claiming the remaining 9 tickets to the APPT Manila Main Event. Among there were Nichols Manalo - the first player to win a ticket today - and Lenart Ecarma. Both players earned a second ticket.
