Kick-off (16,500 PHP)

With that we have the final 11 players advancing to Day 2 of the Kick-off on the books, making it a total of 50 out of 337 over all three flights.

Without us noticing, Elmer Kalaquian fought his way to the top, bagging a respectable 370,000, Christopher Mateo - who just missed the cut-off in Flight B finishing in 33rd earlier in the day - close on his heels with 359,000 and Manuel Geronimo, who was very active throughout the whole day, coming in 3rd with 318,000 to his name.

The action will continue tomorrow at noon with the final 50 battling it out until the last player standing.

Here are the complete chip counts of Flight C :

UTG Michihiko Matsuda jams 82,000 with T♥ T♣ and finds a customer in +2 Edgar Asehan who has only 60,000 left with A♦ J♣ . The latter hitting a jack, but gets out drawn with a straight on 5♥ Q♣ J♥ K♥ 9♦ and has to pack up his things.

CO Edgar Asehan puts his remaining 29,700 out front with A♠ Q♥ and BB Geronimo Manuel calls with T♥ T♠ for a flip. The dealer favors the high cards, revealing K♣ A♥ 3♠ 5♦ A♦ for Edgar Asehan to double.
