Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

Philippine poker veteran Don "Pusang Gala" Carmona is trying to nurse is dwindling stack back to life and saw an opportunity to do so from the +1 position with a raise to 4,000 and the only thing that stands in his way is the BB of Japan's Tomoya Kakihara who chooses re-raise it to11,000. Carmona calls.

The flop is 2♦ 5♣ 3♥ as Kakihara conitnues bombing, this time for 9,000. Carmona raises to 28,000 and Kakihara goes all-in for 182,000. Carmona calls.

Kakihara shows 6♣ 6♥ for an over-pair to the board and a gutshot straight draw. Carmona is behind with 4♠ 4♦, but has at least an open-ended straight draw.

The turn is the 3♠ and the river is the 3♦ for a full house for both players. Unfortunately for the Filipino veteran, he had the lower boat.

Carmona gets railed.

Barely half an hour after the resumption of play after the dinner break, Lithuania's David Berlin sees it folded to him on the HJ and makes a raise to 3,500. This draws in two callers in Don Carmona of the Philippines (CO) and Korean Kim Tae Oh (BB).

The flop comes 7♣ 2♣ 6♦ as Kim checks. Berlin CBets for 7,500 and Carmona folds. Kim calls.

Heads up to the turn of J♥ that draws another check from the Korean. Berlin now bets 20,000 to put Kim all-in and he does call.

Berlin shows A♣ A♥ while Kim tables 8♣ 8♠ .

Down to a two-outer, Kim is shown the door when the K♣ comes on the river.

Korea's Hwang Inho raises from UTG to 4,500 and gets a call from Adrian Yeap from Singapore. Then Filipino Jason Ambata bumps it up to 16,000 from the SB while right beside him in the BB, fellow Filipino Don Carmona announces that he is all-in for 37,500. Hwang and Yeap quickly fold as Ambata snap calls.

Carmona flips over J♥ J♠ while Ambata (who covers his opponent) shows Q♥ Q♣ .

The run goes 4♥ 6♠ T♣ 4♠ A♦ eliminating Carmona from Day 1B.

The man known as "Pusang Gala" (Stray Cat) is at it again but this time at the expense of a fellow Filipino as Don Carmona figures in a pot against Michael Calunsod.

Carmona raises from the +1 position and gets calls from Calunsod in the D and Mongolia's Ganbold Battulga.

The flop goes T♠ Q♦ 7♦ . Battulga checks and Carmona CBets for 3,000. Calunsod calls and Battulga folds.

It is Heads UP to the turn that produces the 4♣ . This time, Carmona checks and Calunsod fires 6,000. Carmona proceeds to check-raise to 12,000 and Calunsod makes the call.

The river is the K♣ as Carmona shoves his remaining stack of 9,500. Calunsod calls.

Carmona flips over A♦ J♥ for a gutshot connection on the river while Calunsod showed he was ahead until the river with J♥ T♦.
