Philippines National Cup (12,000 PHP)

Sunjong Yoo raised to 25,000 from the cutoff only to be jammed by Li from the big blind for 420,000. Yoo made the call.

Sunjong Yoo K♥ 7♣

Minghui Li T♥ 9♣

The dry board ran out Q♠ T♣ 5♠ J♠ 2♣, sending Li out of the door.

Suya Lee shoved for 81,000 from under the gun and Rex Clinkscales shoved from the next seat for 121,000. The action folded around to Minghui Li on the button, who got a count of both stacks before he eventually folded, and claimed to have mucked ace-king, much to the surprise of the table.

Suya Lee: Q♥ J♠

Rex Clinkscales: A♥ 7♠

"You folded ace-king?" asked a surprised Clinkscales.

Maybe Li can see into the future as the flop of 7♥ 4♣ 6♦ would have seen him fall behind as Clinkscales paired his seven. The 3♦ turn did bring around some chop outs, but instead Lee scooped it all as the J♣ river gave him a pair of jacks.

The action picked up on the turn when Mehran Simbre moved all-in with his stack of 130,000, prompting a call from Minghui Li.

Mehran Simbre: K♠ K♣

Minghui Li: A♠ J♥

The flop showed 9♣ 3♥ A♣ , giving Li top pair .As the turn came 7♠ , both players felt the tension rise. The river revealed the 4♥ , sealing Simbre's fate as he was unable to improve his hand, resulting in his elimination from the tournament.
