APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

Players are on a 15-minute break. 52 players are still playing until there are 48 qualifiers left who will advance to Day 4 of The APT Manila Main Event. All 57 players are guaranteed at least a payout of PHP 265,000 ($4,505).

Some of the recent eliminations were:

Zhen Chen opened to 12,000, and Kinam Kim three-bet to 130,000.

Before making his decision, Chen asked, 'Do you want a double up?' Kim responded, 'It’s your option.' Chen replied, 'No, it’s your choice; if you want, I can, you know...' 'No, no, no... you choose,' Kim insisted. 'Can I choose?' joked Robert Bryan, drawing laughter from the table.

In the end, Chen returned his cards to the dealer.
