Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

Barely a few hands after vanquishing Filipino Ruben Clamares, Japan's Yuta Morikawa is once again in the news but this time as a donor to Singapore's Wei Amos Yi Zhu.

It was short-stacked fellow Singaporean Giam Jian Hui who raised from the HJ to 2,500 and got a call from Ryoya Inokuchi of Japan and Wei but Morikawa squeezed from the BB for 12,500.

Giam and Inokuchi folded but Wei called.

The flop is 3♥ 5♠ 8♦ and the action went check-check.

The turn produces the K♠ as Morikawa checked a second time. This time, Wei takes over the betting lead for 10,000. Morikawa still calls.

The river shows the J♠ . Again Morikawa checks and is met with a shove from Wei. Morikawa eventually throws his hand into the muck.

Wei breaks into six figures in holdings with the triumph.

The board goes 3♦ 6♠ Q♣ T♥ 8♠ for a complete miss for the Filipino as he loses the coin flip for his tournament life.

In what was initially a raised pot with five players, Hong Kong's Harish Asnani leads out on the D for 2,700 on a flop of 2♥ K♠ 4♠ . The bet makes all but Yuta Morikawa fold as the Japanese player calls.

The turn is the 8♣ . Asnani now unloads 4,500 but is still called by Morikawa.
