Kick-off (16,500 PHP)

Lim Hyunbae starts us off with a 16,000 raise from HJ, called by BB Chua Woo Hian to see the flop J♣ 6♦ 5♣ . An 18,000 c-bet and a call show the turn Q♣ that gets checked to the river A♥ and Chua Woo Hian takes the lead with 32,000 to scoop up the pot uncontested.

First to act Michael Bueza slides out a min-raise and BB Lim Hyunbae defends to see the flop 4♣ 5♣ A♣ that gets checked to the turn T♥ . Hyunbae Lim takes the lead with 12,000 and a call for the river Q♠ and another lead for 20,000. Michael Bueza calls again with the winner K♠ T♠ versus 8♦ 6♣

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 :

Kim Hyeongjung opens for 2,500 under the gun, BU Hyunbae Lim announces all-in for 13,500 and the next race is in the dealers hands.

A 26,300 cold four-bet shove from Joseph Magnotti in the SB has only HJ Hyunbae Lim stick around for the dealer to arrange the cards and flip over 4♦ 6♠ 9♥ 3♣ 2♥ .
