Main Event (45,000 PHP)

Kicking us off with a raise to 40,000 from HJ, Alvir Inocentes takes CO Seojin Lee to the flop 3♥ A♦ 7♥ to slow down to a check-call for 90,000 to reveal the T♣ and another check to induce Seojin Lee to go all-in for 315,000 with A♣ 7♠ . Having A♥ A♠ , Alvir Inocentes snaps to see the insignificant river K♣ hit the felt and scoop up a very juicy pot.

Right the next hand, Chua Woo Hian looks at K♣ T♣ in the CO and is all-in again this time for 54,000 and BB Seojin Lee defends BB with A♠ 8♠ . The dealer has everyone miss, flipping over 4♠ 7♣ 6♠ J♦ 6♦ to send Chua Woo Hian to the rail.

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.

Everyone folds to SB Seojin Lee that raises to 1,200 and BB David Trivino defends to see the flop 3♦ J♦ 7♣ and a 2,200 c-bet to be answered with a call to the turn 4♦ that gets checked around to complete the board 6♣ . Seojin Lee slides another 6,500 over the line for a steal, but throws it immediately in the muck when Trivino makes the call.
