Main Event - Flight A
Ryota Sakurai bubbles Main Event Day 1A

Facing a similar situation to that of Jester Intia earlier, Philippine pro Jose Colada had to make a decision folded to him in the BB facing a shove from the +1 by Ryuta Sakurai of Japan. The all-in of 54,500 was substantial but with over 300,000 in chips, Colada decides to go for it and calls.
Sakurai flips over A♦ J♥ while Colada shows A♣ 4♣ , a dominated situation.
The first three community cards, however, gives the Filipino the lead: 9♥ 4♦ 6♥ .
The next two community cards of 3♥ 6♠ seals the deal and the bust out of Sakurai now guarantees that the remaining 12 players will be get a chunk of the prize pool and will be returning for Day 2 on Saturday, September 28.

Filipino duel: Gopez doubles-up through buddy Colada

There really are no friends at the poker table and that held true when Filipino buddies Jose Colada and Edilberto "Duroy" Gopez battled for each other's chips.
Having a light conversation about what to have as a midnight snack mere minutes before, the two found themselves all-in preflop with Colada showing T♦ T♠ versus Gopez's A♦ Q♥.
Gopez snatched the lead on the flop of Q♦ 8♣ 2♥ but the turn of J♣ provided a sweat card that both laughed at. The river card of 4♠ ensured a double up for Gopez to keep him in contention while Colada still had a healthy stack despite the hit.
