Saquing vanquished by Magbanua

Level 25: 20,000 / 40,000 ante: 40,000
Moses Calma Saquing

With the action folded to the HJ of Jason Magbanua, he raises to 90,000. Suddenly from the BB, former chip leader Moses Saquing declares he is all-in for his remaining chip stack of 720,000. Magbanua calls.


Saquing tables K 8 while Magbanua shows A K, dominating Saquing's hand.


The first three community cards kept Magbanua in the lead: A 4 4 . However, the turn card was the A . The third ace of Magbanua gave the nut flush redraw to Saquing.


The river was a miss as it cme out to be the 3 .


Saquing, who many believed was a lock to make the Final Table, falls short.

Level 22: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000
Shintaro Ono

The short stacks are beginning to dissipate as another all-in preflop ended the run of Japan's Shintaro Ono as Filipino Moses Saquing made a raise from the +2 for 40,000 and got 3-bet all-in by the Japanese player for 280,000. Saquing made the call.


Ono flipped over A 9 which was completely dominated by Saquing's A Q .


The run out gave Saquing the lead for good as it went 2 2 8 Q K .


Saquing's stack is beginning to dwarf the competition at 1.75 million.

Saquing's set sends Hong packing

Level 18: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000
Moses Calma Saquing

Filipino poker veteran Moses Saquing starts the action by raising UTG for 17,000 and as it is folded to the SB, Ryan Ming Hong of Australia re-raises all-in for 152,000. Saquing calls the shove.


Hong turns over K Q and is in a race situation against the Filipino's J J .


The flop is 4 3 J giving Saquing a set and rendering the Australian to a zero chance of staying alive unless running clubs happen to force a chop.


The 6 on the turn assures that Hong is drawing dead and the meaningless 3 on the river busts Hong.
