Main Event - Flight A
Misfud escapes Magsakay's domination

Brandon Mifsud of Malta had recently doubled up but dropped down again so deep that he needed another miracle double up to stay alive and found just that against Filipino ace Vam Magsakay.
In a pot originally raised to 2,000 by Hong Kong's Harish Asnani from the D, Magsakay 3-bet in the SB to 5,200. Misfud in the BB makes a 4-bet shove for his remaining 15,800 as Asnani quickly folded but got the call from Magsakay.
Misfud shows A♠ 6♣ while Magsakay brandishes A♥ K♠, completely dominating his Maltese foe.
The flop came 5♣ Q♥ A♦ but the turn was the 6♠ and Misfud never looked back as the 7♦ comes on the river.
It was the second time Misfud outdrew his opponent while being behind preflop.
