Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

The saying goes that one must win the races to progress well in tournaments and that holds true for Singapore's Rishi Mirpuri as he re-raised all-in for his remaining 95,000 against the HJ raise of Korean Chun Jun Beum to 12,000.

Mirpuri reveals his A♣ Q♥ while Chun tables J♦ J♠ .

The flop immediately answers the Singaporean's preflop prayers as it goes 9♥ 2♦ Q♣ . However the turn brings the K♦ to add more outs for Chun.

The river blanks out, though, as the 7♣ arrives and ends up crippling the Korean's stack.

Folded to him on the CO, Korea's Chun Jun Beum limps and when the action gets to Chen Zhen of China in the BB, he raises all-in for his last 70,000. Chun calls the shove.

Chen shows K♥ Q♠ while Chun is coin flipping with 5♦ 5♠ .

The flop gave Chun an almost decisive edge: 5♥ K♠ 2♦ with the Chinese player now requiring running cards to survive.

The turn is the 3♥ which makes Chen drawing dead and the river of the 4♣ made it official.

2-time Super Stack champion Ashley Patterson of England raised from the HJ and got a call from China's Liu Zhiqiang then Korean Chun Jun Beum went over the top all-in for 91,500. Patterson also shoved as Liu folded.

Chun showed A♠ Q♥ while Patterson flipped over a made hand in T♣ T♠ .

The succeeding runout went in favor of the Korean: A♣ 3♣ 4♦ K♠ A♦ .

Chun got the double up he needed but Patterson is now down to less than four BBs.

Liu Zhiqiang of China raises from UTG and gets a caller in the HJ in Korea's Chun Jun Beum.

The flop comes 2♣ 3♠ T♣ as Liu leads out for 6,500. Chun calls.

The turn is the 7♦ and Liu keeps applying the pressure with a bet of 15,000. Chun still calls.

The river is the 3♥ and this time both players check.

Liu tables Q♥ T♥ for top pair on the flop. Chun mucks but takes a substantial hit to his already dwindling stack.

Filipino pro Renniel Galvez opens from UTG for 2,500 and gets re-raised by Korea's Chun Jun Beum for 7,500 in the HJ. Another local bet in Rene Mar David puts more pressure by 4-betting from the SB for 17,000. Both Galvez and Chun call.

The flop goes A♠ Q♠ 3♠ as David continues his bombardment for just 5,000. Galvez calls but Chun gets out of the way.

The turn is the 3♣ and David this time fires 10,000. Galvez decides to fold and the sheer aggression gives the pot to the Filipino grinder.
