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.

With a 600 open from UTG, Ishihara Masanori takes both blinds to the flop A♦ Q♦ 4♠ and a c-bet of 800 that only gets called by BB Kim Michael Enriquez for the turn T♠ and a check-check to the river 7♣ . Enriquez leads 3,000 and Masanori shoves 28,500 to take it down uncontested.

UTG opens 400 to take CO and BB to the flop 4♦ 2♠ Q♣ that gets checked to the turn 7♠ and BB Jimin Lim takes over the reins with a 1,000 lead. Only CO Ishihara Masanori sticks around for the board to complete 2♦ and a friendly check-check. Jimin Lim tables T♥ 7♥ but is outdone by 9♦ 9♥ for Ishihara Masanori to add the pot to his stack.
