Philippine Poker Millions (27,500 PHP)

136 runners signed up throughout Metro PPM Day 1E making it the largest of all the live flights. Many notables came out firing such as Jae Yi Chang, Joseph Magnotti, Hernan Villa, and Metro commentator Jester Intia, however, they all guttered leaving them one last chance at the evening turbo.

On the birght side, among the 18 players that bagged up were rookie sensation Oliver Lirio, Renato Villanueva, and Marvin Cerbito. Earning the leader's chair was Australia's Antonio Paino with 557,000 (92 bb) in chips. Paino's first foray in the Philippines was at the recently concluded APPT Manila where he cashed at one event. He is now guaranteed his second on Philippine turf.
