Main Event (45,000 PHP)

UTG Andy Chan kicks us off with a 50,000 open, called by Manuel Geronimo for his last 40,000 and the SB tags along to see the flop 8♣ T♦ 8♦ . Andy Chan successfully isolates with a 30,000 c-bet, shows A♠ Q♠ against Manuel Geronimo's A♥ 4♠ and the dealer delivers another knockout by completing the board 7♥ 2♥ .

Another hand gets folded to the SB, this time in the form of Manuel Geronimo, who makes it 10,000 to take BB Sehoon Jin to the flop 4♠ A♦ 4♦ . Tripple barreling to the river 9♦ 7♦ with 12,000, 22,000 and 40,000 and three calls from Sehoon Jin, Manuel Geronimo tables the winner Q♦ J♦ .

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.

Short stack Topi Palenius starts off with a 1,000 raise from UTG and takes HJ and BB to the flop J♥ T♥ 7♥ that gets donk-bet for 1,200 by BB Manuel Geronimo, raised to 3,200 from Palenius and cold called from Darren Lee in HJ for a three-way turn 2♦ . Checked to the short stack, Topi Palenius announces all-in for 7,700 and finds no takers.

Jung Yubeen opens 600 from CO and takes the rest to a four-way flop 5♠ 3♦ 7♥ . A 1,200 c-bet has only the blinds pay up to see the turn A♥ . Checked to Jung Yubeen again, 3,800 slide over the line, followed by a check-raise to 7,800 from BB Manuel Geronimo to scoop the pot.
