Main Event (45,000 PHP)

Flight C had 250 entries with the top 38 advancing and Jonald Garcia emerging as the chip leader, bagging a whopping 709,000 in chips with a late charge including the last minute eliminations of Robert Yamashita and Jeffrey Pamplona. Sehoon Jin finished 2nd with 478,000 and Alvir Inocentes came in third with 434,000. Those three will also start day 2 as overall chip leaders.

Chung Ju Won kicks us off with a raise to 900 from HJ to take the CO and BU to the flop A♣ 8♦ 2♦ . Checked to BU Romel Calderon, 1,200 go into the middle and everyone continues to the turn T♥ that gets checked around to complete the board 7♦ . Another 2,800 from Calderon has only Yusuf Cassidy pay up and muck when seeing 9♦ 3♦ hit the felt.

A limp from UTG Darren Moves and a raise to 300 from BU Alexander Goh has the blinds defend for a 3♣ A♥ 9♣ flop. The preflop limper leads 300 to weed out the BB and see the turn 2♣ three-way. Another 1,200 lead does the trick for Darren Moves.
