Main Event (45,000 PHP)

Next hand we see a 13,000 open from BU, SB Jin Sehoon three-bets 50,000 and BB Takeda Takumi wagers his remaining 115,000 with Q♦ Q♣ . Only the SB calls with A♥ 9♠ , but finds help on 2♦ 9♦ 8♦ 3♠ A♣ to hand out another bust.

With an open to 10,000 from +1 and a three-bet to 25,000 from CO Yohei Katsuragawa the action is back to the initiator Takumi Takeda, four-bet shoving 164,000 to take home the pot uncontested.

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.
