Kick-off (16,500 PHP)

This time, Eric Ceret starts us off with a 40,000 open from UTG, followed by a 115,000 jam from BB Manuel Geronimo and the dealer gets ready to decide another race.

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 :

With less than one blind, Jeffrey Pamplona goes all-in for 9,000 from UTG, Jegal Gun limps from CO and BB Geronimo Manuel waving his option to see the flop T♣ 8♣ 5♥ get checked down to the river 5♣ 2♥ and the players show their cards.

Aratea Pee Jay is starting the action with an all-in from UTG, Magnotti Joseph going over the top with a 61,500 jam of his own and button Manuel Geronimo calls off for a three way race with two players at risk.

HJ Manuel Geronimo opens for 10,000 with BB Soriano James Daniel announcing all-in for 60,000 with 7♣ 7♦ which quickly gets called by Manuel Geronimo showing Q♠ Q♣ . The dealer has no help for the lower pair and the field inches one position closer to Day 2.

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.
