Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

Starting Day 2 at nearly the bottom of the rung, China's Tai Weiliang has made serious headway.

This time it Japan's Yuki Homma who makes a raise from the +1 position to 25,000 as Tai makes the call from the +2. Then Kim Donghyun of Korea goes all-in with his dwindling stack of only 39,000 from the SB. Homma and Tai call.

The flop is T♠ J♥ 9♥ as Homma goes for the homer and chucks in 164,000 all-in. Tai quickly calls.

Kim shows 6♣ 6♥ while Homma tables A♣ K♥ for two over cards to the baord and a gutshot Broadway draw. Tai turns over 9♠ 9♣ for mid set on the flop.

With Kim drawing dead, Homma is down to a four-outer that never happens as the 3♥ 5♦ finish off two players and Tai continues his rise from obscurity.

The action is folded to the Button of Japan's Yuka Homma who raises it to 4,500. The blinds in Singapore's Aaron Lam and Tobias Fabech from Denmark join in.

The flop comes A♣ 5♠ 5♦ as all players check.

The turn is the 2♣ as Lam checks, Fabech fires 7,500 and gets calls from both gentlemen.

The river is the 2♠ and no more shots go off.

Homma shows A♦ T♠ while Lam unveils A♥ 2♥ for a full house on the river. Fabech doesn't show and mucks his hand.
