John Costiniano opened to 1,100 from middle position and got a call from Nhu Hai Le in the hijack. Badrudin Ampatuan then three-bet to 4,800 from the small blind, which only Le called.

A continuation-bet on a flop of 3♠ 5♦ 7♠ did the trick for Ampatuan, who took his stack up to around 55,000 with that pot.

Richard "Hotsauce" Marquez is seated at the same table, but hasn't gotten off to the best start as he has lost half of the starting stack, and sits with around 20,000 as the mid-way point of the flight approaches.

Emmanuel Derecho raised to 800 from under the gun and got 3 callers to follow. The flop came K♠ 6♣ 8♥ Action was checked to Seonghun Jeong at the cut-off who fired a 1,500 bet. Nhu Hai Le at the button called as did Derecho. 3 players moved on to see a 5♠ on the turn. Derecho fired 3,600 with Le the only one who matched. The river came T♥ with Derecho opening for 11,000. Le took a moment, asked Derecho if he had a set, counted off some chips and made the call.

Derecho flipped over 7♠ 8♠ for a pair of eights while Le showed a two-pair with 5♦ 6♦ Le took down the huge pot, leaving a dent on Derecho's stack.
