Super Deep (PHP 1 Million Guaranteed)

Blinds 10,000/20,000 Ante 20,000

3:28 AM was the timestamp when the final hand happened that finally made the final table. Finally! Over 15 hours until a final table was formed. Talk about super deep. This was super super deep deep.

Ziqiang Li pushed all-in from under the gun for his remaining 143,000 and Moon Hyung Ko made the easy call from the hijack. There were many who were waiting for this moment. "Could this be it?" echoed with a little bit of negativity. "If it doesn't happen, then what's another hour?"

Ziqiang Li: 4♥ 4♣

Moon Kyung Ho: J♦ J♠

Will the short-stacked sailboats double-up or will the fish hooks catch a pot and everyone can move on to the next chapter?

Board runs 5♦ K♠ T♠ A♦ .. then 4♦... Ooops, sorry it was red and looked like a 4. Ahh, it was a 5♥. Lack of sleep and a low battery does things.

Moon Kyung Ho's Jacks hold and Ziqiang Li is eliminated at 10th place. Li is already ITM. ITM happened with 31 players to go. This was for the final table bubble because they needed to play to a final table that would continue this "super deep" (pun intended) event. What was supposed to be finished within the day will now carry on to some time later today. The term was "tomorrow" but the "tomorrow" they referred yesterday is actually today.

9 players would move on to an unscheduled day 2 for the final table. Finally!

These are the chip counts for tomorrow, which is today.
