Kick-off (16,500 PHP)

UTG Keijiro Shimojo starts us off with a raise to 65,000, followed by a 275,000 jam from Winifred Obedoza in HJ and an over shove for 525,000 from BB Quijano Anacleto. Keijiro Shimojo calls, putting two players at risk.

Winifred Obedoza opens 60,000 from BU and BB Moon Kyung Ho announces all-in for 70,000 with A♥ A♣ . Obedoza fills up with J♣ T♦ and the dealer rolls over 4♠ 9♣ 5♥ 4♦ 5♦ , delivering a double for Moon Kyung Ho.

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 a 6,000 open from Initia Jester, followed by an 18,000 three-bet from Winifred Obedoza we see Initia Jester shove for 58,500, enough to end the hand right there.

With no more option to re-enter the action, the current leaderboard consists of the following names :

First to act slides out 1,200, +1 Winifred Obedoza calls and CO Looi Tek Wye Jonathan pumps it to 3,500 with the initial raiser exiting. The flop K♣ 2♥ 3♠ has Looi Tek Wye Jonathan continue for 1,200 which is enough to scoop the pot.

Picking up the action on 3♣ 2♦ 6♦ 9♠ with 8,000 in the pot, Aratea Pee Jay slides out 2,000 that is getting called by Obedoza Winifred to see the river 3♥ . A massive 20,000 is enough to put Obedoza Winifred all-in for 11,500 who makes the hero call with 5♠ 5♣ against A♦ K♣ and doubles up.
