Main Event (45,000 PHP)

The HJ kicks off the action with a raise to 2,200 followed by a call from CO and BU that triggers an 11,000 squeeze from SB Chong Zi Heng and only CO Renniel Galvez fills up to see the flop A♠ K♠ 8♠ . Heng continues for 9,000 and Galves agrees to see the turn 7♦ . With a check in front, Galves makes it 11,000, Heng calls for the river 5♠ where Renniel Galvez moves all-in for 72,000 to take down the pot without showdown.

UTG Chong Zi Heng open jams K♣ 4♣ from UTG and finds a customer in +1 Seung Min Kang holding T♦ 9♦ . The dealer makes short work of the suited connectors by flipping over 3♣ 4♠ K♦ 5♠ 3♦ and moves the pot to Chong Zi Heng.

Another preflop showdown starts with a raise to 2,000 from CO Jang Mo Se with Q♣ 8♣ and a 10,700 jam from Chong Zi Heng holding K♣ 5♣ . The dealer switches outcomes on 8♥ 7♣ 9♥ K♠ 4♦ and ultimately grants it to Chong Zi Heng for a double.

With Chong Zi Heng holding 7♦ 7♣ we hear raise 1,200, reraise 3,000 from CO Christopher Mateo and the initiator pumps it further to a 30,000 jam. Christopher Mateo calls for his last 17,000 with A♦ J♣ and the dealer goes to work J♥ Q♥ 5♥ Q♣ 9♠ and grants the short stack a double.
