Kick-off (16,500 PHP)

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 CO Jung Lovo opening for 2,500 and a defend from BB Choi Wing Ho we see the flop 8♣ A♣ T♣ . Two c-bets for 3,000 and 50,000 on the turn Q♦ , Choi Wing Ho calls for 44,500 left with Q♣ 9♦ against Jung Lovo's A♥ 9♠ . The river J♣ completes Choi Wing Ho's flush for a double up.
