Kick-off (16,500 PHP)

With an open shove from Ricky Oyama in UTG for 150,000 and a call by Jongho Lee in the BB, the dealer has one player at risk.

A HJ 40,000 open and two calls from BU and BB reveal the flop 3♣ J♣ 4♥ for a friendly check around to the turn J♦ . Checked to Moon Kyung Ho on the button, 40,000 go into the middle with only BB Riki Oyama paying up. The river Q♥ and two checks have Oyama come out on top, showing A♠ 4♦ .

Ricky Oyama opens 31,000 from CO, HJ Hyeongjung Kim jams 60,000 and SB Clark Pallaya does the same with 68,000 for a three way race and two players at risk.

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 :

HJ Oyama Ricky shoves his micro stack with Q♠ J♠ and BB Moon Kyung Ho has an easy call with A♣ J♣ for the dealer to flip over 5♠ 5♣ A♠ 5♥ 3♥ , thereby eliminating Oyama Ricky.
