Main Event (45,000 PHILIPPINE PESO)

Shayne Villanueva of the Northern Marianas Islands opens the action from UTG for 2,100 but then local player Vince Nachor re-pops him from the D for 8,400. Singapore's Szetho Zhong joins the action by calling from the BB. Villanueva decides to fold.

It is Heads Up to the flop of 8♠ 2♣ 9♥ as Zhong checks. Nachor continues for 12,000 as Zhong calls.

The turn is the 6♥ . Zhong checks again and this time Nachor ships it for 45,000 and covers his Singaporean opponent. Zhong still calls.

Nachor flips over Q♥ Q♣ while a deflated Zhong turns over 7♣ 7♠ .

The river card did not help Zhong as he now has options on whether to return to the competition or not.
