Philippines National Cup (12,000 PHP)

Jester Intia K♠ J♥

Alvin Sembrano 5♥ 5♦

The board ran out A♣ J♠ 3♠ 5♣ 7♣ , giving Sembrano a turned set and sending Intia out of the door.

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.

Jester Intia open-shoved from middle position for 50,000 and was called all-in by Joe Mark Vasay, who had 31,000 at risk for his tournament life.

Joe Mark Vasay: A♦ J♦

Jester Intia: A♥ K♠

The board ran out K♥ 7♣ Q♠ 7♥ 5♣ , sealing Vasay’s elimination from the tournament.
