Philippines National Cup (12,000 PHP)

Jeongmin Park was all in from the button for around 375,000 and Marco Espela called from the small blind.

Marco Espela: K♠ A♠

Jeongmin Park: K♣ 8♥

The board filled out 7♥ 5♣ A♦ 5♠ 3♦ , eliminating Park out of the field, and left just two tables of eight remaining.

Jester Intia found himself in an unusual situation, as his hand was declared dead before he even had the chance to look at his cards.

The incident occurred when Jeongmin Park, folding from under the gun, accidentally tossed his cards onto Intia's unprotected hand in the big blind. Park quickly reclaimed his cards, verifying they were his, and the floor was called over to decide if Intia's hand was still live or if it should be ruled dead.

After deliberation, the floor ruled that Intia’s hand was dead due to being unprotected, which led to his cards mixing with Park’s, even if Park did confirm he reclaimed the cards he folded. It was a tough break for Intia, who was forced to surrender 2 big blinds without a chance to defend them.

Rex Clinkscales then shoved from middle position, and took down the pot as the rest of the table folded.
