Maxwell Rosete busts in 5th place for PhP990,000 (~US$17,676)

Level 28: 40,000 / 80,000 ante: 80,000

Maxwell Rosete - 5th Place

Hand #116: Maxwell Rosete goes all-n from UTG for his remaining 1,180,000 and gets called in the BB by Edliberto Gopez.

Rosete shows T♠ T♦ but Gopez has a better pocket pair with Q♥ Q♠ .

The first three community cards gave Gopez an almost insurmountable lead: A♥ Q♦ 4♣ for a set. Rosete needed running cards to survive but when the 8♥ hit the turn, he was already drawing dead. The K♠ on the river made it official.

Rosete is railed in 5th but will still be getting PhP990,000 (~US$17,676) as Gopez regains the chip lead.

The final four players continue the battle.

Hand #107: The action goes to blinds and in an unraised pot between Edilberto Gopez (SB) and Maxwell Rosete (BB), the flop comes A♠ 9♣ T♥ as Gopez leads out for 175,000 and gets the call from Rosete.

The turn is the T♠ and Gopez adds more spice by betting 325,000. He still gets called by Rosete. The river card is the 4♠ and this time Gopez unloads 800,000. Rosete still makes the call.

Gopez shows T♣ 9♥ as Rosete mucks.

Rosete now drops to below the one million mark and has bled considerably over his last two hands.

Both Ysmael and Gopez exit but Rosete makes the call.

Landry flips over A♣ K♣ while a dismayed Rosete shows A♥ Q♣.

The first three community cards go 6♣ J♦ Q♥ to give Rosete the lead, but the turn of K♥ put the Australian ahead for good as the river is the 5♣ .

Maxwell Rosete

Hand #83: Former chip leader Edilberto Gopez tries for another long distance steal by raising to 125,000 from UTG. Instead, new chip leader Maxwell Rosete re-raises it to 350,000 from the +1 position. Gopez reaches for more chips and 4-bets to 700,000. Rosete tanks and opts to call.

The flop is 8♦ 9♠ T♥ as Gopez checks. Rosete bets 500,000 and Gopez calls.

The turn is the K♣ as Gopez checks again. This time, Rosete empties the clip for an all-in bet of 1,470,000. Gopez takes an eternity and uses two time bank cards. He was close to using a third one when he decided to fold.

Rosete now climbs over the four million chip mark.
