Main Event (45,000 PHP)

After another 15 levels of Day 1 play in the Main Event are under our belts we reached the final 19 out of a starting field of 126 advancing to Day 2 on Saturday 13:00.

With the top 5 eclipsing yesterdays Flight A chip leader we saw Mystery Bounty's biggest winner Fransisco Sanchez come out on top with 379,000 to his name, after another stellar performance. In close quarters we have 2nd in chips Kim Jaejoong bagging 367,000 and David Rene Mar in 3rd with 341,000.

For all the players missing out today, we have Flight C on Friday at 13:00 with the usual 10 levels of late registration until around 20:10.

Enjoy the rest of your night and see you tomorrow for another round of live updates!

Our 19 qualifiers all in on place:

When open-limping his SB, Yusuf Cassidy induces a 9,400 jam from BB Czardy Rivera with A♣ 7♣ and wants to gamble, calling with 5♦ 3♦ . The gamble pays off when the dealer flips over T♦ 2♣ 5♠ 3♣ T♥ .

With a 500 open from UTG, Romel Calderon slides in his remaining 2,700 when HJ Czardy Rivera three-bets 3,200 and BB Yusuf Cassidy defends. Checked all the way to the river Q♦ 3♦ 7♦ 6♣ K♦ , Yusuf Cassidy makes a flush with 8♠ 8♦ to beat Czardy Rivera's T♠ 9♠ and knock out Romel Calderon holding Q♣ T♣ .
