Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

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.

The shift to Level 8 is greeted with some minor bullying by Slovakia's Andrej Nagy as he raises from the D for 1,800 and gets a call from Japanese player Ryota Sakurai in the BB.

The flop comes 9♥ 3♠ T♠ as both players check.

The turn is the 2♣ to which Sakurai fires a bet of 2,400. After some thinking, Nagy calls.

The river shows the 7♣ and suddenly Sakurai goes off for a bet of 10,000. Nagy tanks longer but still makes the call.

Sakurai gets caught as he shows 8♦ 5♠ while Nagy tables A♥ 7♠.
