Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

Three Filipinos get involved in this pot as Eugene Co raises from UTG for 8,000. Joining him are William Ysmael in the CO and Manuel Geronimo in the BB.

The flop comes 7♣ 5♦ T♠ . Geronimo checks, Co CBets for 17,000 and is called by Ysmael. Geronimo exits the scene.

The turn is the K♦ as Co goes all-in for his remaining 107,000. Ysmael makes the call.

Co shows A♥ T♦ while Ysmael flips over A♠ K♠, outdrawing Co on the turn.

Co's two-outer fails to appear on the river as the 2♥ shows up to rail him and bring Ysmael to elite chip stack territory.

Edwin de la Cruz (better known as "Hit D'Heat" in the Philippine poker circuit) just melted the Big Slick of Japan's Ryo Suzuki when the Japanese player raised from the +1 position for 3,500 and got a call from Filipino Eugene Co. De la Cruz then 3-bet from the CO to 12,500 and Suzuki 4-bet all-in for 34,000. Co got out of the way and de la Cruz made the call.

Suzuki tabled A♣ K♦ while de la Cruz showed 9♦ 9♣ .

The runout missed Suzuki's holdings completely: 3♣ 8♥ 7♦ 2♠ T♥ as de la Cruz eliminates the Japanese player and now has a six-figure chip count.
