Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

Philippine poker superstar Mike Takayama just catches the last registration bus for Day 1C and immediately doubles up after Singapore's Giam Jian Hui shoved from the +2 for his last 24,500. Takayama, with a fresh starting stack, calls.

Giam flips over K♠ 7♠ while Takayama shows 3♦ 3♥

The flop is 2♥ 3♠ A♠ giving the Filipino a set but the nut flush draw for the Singaporean.

The turn card is the 6♣ while the river yielded the K♦ .

Giam can still join the ongoing Day 1D for a few more opportunities to advance.

Just beginning Level 2, India's Chirag Shah raises from the +2 position for 500 and gets calls from Giam Jian Hui of Singapore in the HJ and Korean Yang Sangwon in the BB.

The flop comes 9♦ J♦ J♣ . Yang and Shah check as Giam unloads 800 and is called by both.

The turn is the Q♣ and this time all check.

The river card is the 4♣ and once again all check.

Yang tables J♠ 8♦ for trips on the flop while Shah shows that he has 9♣ 6♣ for a pair on the flop and a runner runner flush. Giam mucks.

The Indian is one of the first to breach 60,000 in chips.

Barely a few hands after vanquishing Filipino Ruben Clamares, Japan's Yuta Morikawa is once again in the news but this time as a donor to Singapore's Wei Amos Yi Zhu.

It was short-stacked fellow Singaporean Giam Jian Hui who raised from the HJ to 2,500 and got a call from Ryoya Inokuchi of Japan and Wei but Morikawa squeezed from the BB for 12,500.

Giam and Inokuchi folded but Wei called.

The flop is 3♥ 5♠ 8♦ and the action went check-check.

The turn produces the K♠ as Morikawa checked a second time. This time, Wei takes over the betting lead for 10,000. Morikawa still calls.

The river shows the J♠ . Again Morikawa checks and is met with a shove from Wei. Morikawa eventually throws his hand into the muck.

Wei breaks into six figures in holdings with the triumph.
