Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

Filipino veteran Richard Tolentino raises from early position, making it 2,500. Right beside in the +2, countryman John Niko Costiniano re-raises to 6,000 as everyone else folds. Tolentino then proceeds to 4-bet all-in for 24,000 and gets snap called by Costiniano.

Tolentino tables A♣ Q♣ while Costiniano shows J♠ J♦ .

The runout is 4♣ T♦ K♠ 8♥ and the A♠ as Tolentino rivers his fellow Filipino to double up and stay alive.

Filipino Maxwell Rosete continues to stay aggressive as he raises anew from the CO for 5,000. Fellow Filipino Richard Tolentino decides to give him some action with a from the SB, but John Niko Costiniano, still smarting from the loss to Rosete earlier, 3-bets to 12,000 from the BB. Rosete calls but Tolentino folds.

The flop comes J♦ 2♥ 4♥ . Both players opt to check.

The turn is the T♣ . Costiniano checks again and this time Rosete fires out 32,000 to which Costiniano folds.

Japan's Akimichi Motomura starts the action by raising to 500 from UTG and gets four callers in Australia's Landry Craig in the +2 position, fellow Japanese player Junichi Murakami in the CO, and a pair of Filipinos in Maxwell Rosete (D) and Richard Tolentino (BB).

The flop comes 9♦ J♥ 4♦ as Motomura and Craig check it to Murakai who bets 2,000. Right beside him, Rosete raises it to 7,000 as Tolentino, Motomura and Craig get out of the way. Murakami calls.

The turn is the 9♠ . Murakami checks and Rosete unleashes 8,000. Murakami quickly goes all-in for 20,200 and gets snap called by the Filipino for his remaining 17,500.

Murakami shows Q♦ J♠ for top pair on the flop while Rosete flips over 4♠ 4♣ for a full house on the turn.

Needing a nine or a jack on the river to counterfeit his opponent's boat, the A♠ arrives and sends Murakami's stack to the ICU.
