Nearing 1,000 Entries

Level 2: 100 / 200 ante: 200

The APPT Manila Main Event is closing in on 1,000 total entries. Day 1A drew 300 entries, Day 1B added a further 368, and Day 1C has already reached 147 with hours of registration still to go, pushing the running total well past 800 and rising.

With the Day 1D Turbo still to come later today, the field looks all but certain to surpass the four-figure mark, comfortably smashing the PHP 60,000,000 guarantee in the process.

Accidental Slow-Roll

Level 2: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Itsuki Chiba raised to 500 from early position and received calls from cutoff Karlsson Adalsteinn, plus blinds Ryo Matsuura and Rommel Orbigo.

All four players checked the J♣ 9♠ 8♥ flop to the A♥ turn, where Orbigo put 1,400 into the middle, and only Matsuura folded.

The T♦ completed the board and the action checked around quickly. Orbigo flicked over 9♣ 8♠ for two pair, which seemed good for the pot.

"Two pair?" Karlsson said, as he went to muck his cards. He then took a second look and realised the pot was actually his, having rivered a straight with A♣ 7♥.

"I swear I wasn't trying to slow-roll you," he said earnestly. "I just snap-checked."
