First to act Junghyun An jams 27,000 with T♣ 9♣ , BB Anthony Castro fills up with 5♦ 5♠ and we have another player at risk. The dealer is delivering blanks 4♣ Q♠ 6♠ A♣ A♠ and thins out the field further.

Janno Alvarez kicks us off with a raise to 5,000 from CO and takes both blinds to the flop 5♥ 4♦ T♦ where he continues for 4,500 and finds two check-calls to share the turn 4♣ with. SB Ashley Patterson takes over the reins with a 30,000 lead to scoop up the pot right there.

Picking up the action on the flop 8♦ 6♥ 3♥ and 21,000 in the pot, +1 John Clyde Tan leads 2,000, raised to 7,000 by his opponent, jams 17,000 with J♦ J♠ and gets called by Anthony Castro with 4♥ 6♦ . The dealer shares 8♥ 4♠ and John Clyde Tan has a healthy stack again.
