Kick-off (16,500 PHP)

Anastasios Pavlou opens 17,000 from +1, called by HJ and a shove from SB Michihiko Matsuda for 126,000. Anastasios Pavlou fills up and the dealer has another fate to decide.

With 173 entries today we doubled yesterdays field of 86 and the same can be said for the action. A lot of players have more than one bullet to their name and the final chip counts reveal Shimojo Keijiro being the only one topping half a million largely due to him eliminating Christian Lortie on the bubble, adding a hefty 166,000 last minute.

Roxanne Victorino - one of the multi bullet contenders - bagged the 2nd highest stack with 440,000 after a roller coaster ride early in the game. Closely followed by Hyunbae Lim with 439,000 and both players topping yesterdays chip leader Jess Dalipe who will start Day 2 with 379,000.

The full chip counts are as follows :

With +1 making it 6,500, enough to put HJ Munoz Roden all-in for 5,500 and BB Pavlou Anastasios announcing his own all-in for 58,000 to successfully isolate we have the dealer in the spotlight.

SB Alex Taneo opens for 5,500 and Pavlou Anastasios finds a call to see the flop 9♦ J♦ 7♣ . Countering the SB's 6,000 c-bet with a 15,500 raise of his own we see the turn 6♦ and Alex Taneo takes over the reins once more by announcing all-in and taking home the pot.
