Philippines National Cup (12,000 PHP)

Kyoungmoon Kim had shoved from early position for around 45,000 and Hai Shien Tan put in the call from the next seat.

Kyoungmoon Kim: A♦ Q♣

Hai Shien Tan: A♣ K♣

Kim was a big underdog, but found himself in the lead after the 9♦ Q♠ 7♠ flop improved him to top pair. Tan needed to find a king to earn the knockout, but failed to do so as the 5♣ 3♠ runout meant Kim doubled up.

Despite that setback, Tan still sits with a healthy stack of around 240,000.

Hai Shien Tan had opened from under the gun and Lun Luo called from the hijack, before Christopher Mateo shoved from the big blind for around 55,000. Tan asked for a count and upon receiving it, he put in the chips, which got Luo to fold.

Christopher Mateo: 9♠ 9♣

Hai Shien Tan: A♥ A♦

"I folded a nine," said one of Mateo's tablemates.

"Why did you say that?" responded Mateo.

Mateo didn't find any help from the 7♥ Q♥ 5♣ 3♥ 8♦ runout, which meant he was one of the early casualties on Day 2.
