Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

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.

Coming to the point where a double up is desperately needed, Choi Jin Woo of Korea raises from UTG for 7,000 and gets a call from the SB of Japan's Shintaro Ono. However, Singaporean Yar Gin Wee has other plans as he re-raises all-in for 57,500. Cjoi 4-bets all-in, forcing Ono out of the hand.

Yar shows T♦ T♥ while Choi will be coin flipping with A♦ K♦ .

The run out immediately put Choi in dire straits: T♠ 2♥ 9♦ 3♥ 2♦ .

Choi is now reduced to 23,000 in chips and is now considered to be an endangered species at the table.

The first cold deck sighting has Japan's Akihiro Yamada raising from the HJ and getting called by local pro Jason Ambata (D), Jeong Seonghun of Korea (SB) and another Japanese player in Shintaro Ono (BB).

The flop is 7♥ 5♦ 5♠ as all four players check.

The turn is the K♣ . Jeong checks and this time Ono bets 1,200. All but Yamada call.

The river is the 6♣ and this time it's Jeong firing 5,500 as Ono calls. Suddenly, Ambata announces that he is all-in for 22,000. Jeong, who covers the Filipino, snap calls while Ono opts to fold.

Ambata brandishes 7♦ 7♠ for a full house on the flop while a disgruntled Jeong shows 5♣ 6♠ for trips on the flop.

That cooler cost the Korean a huge chunk of his stack and is reduced to about 30 BBs.
