Mystery Bounty - ₱2 million GTD (20,000 PHP)

Finishing Runner-Up in Flight A on Sunday and entering the final day as 5th in chips, Jeffrey Ponce continued to chip up throughout the day, making it to the final table as 4th in chips. Eliminating Yuki Nishio in 8th place with KJ against AJ was a big break, inducing a bluff with top pair against Michael De Leon saw him extend his lead and later eliminating him in 4th place to enter the three-way deal with more chips than 2nd and 3rd combined.

Talking about 2nd and 3rd, the double elimination stole their spotlight, but Michael Cerbito had a great run closing the deal in 2nd with P282,500 from the regular prize pool and an additional P41,000 in bounties and 3rd place Francisco Sanchez, who was extremely active from the get go taking home 267,500 from the deal and six bounties worth a whopping P391,000, making him the biggest winner of the day.

Well done to everyone and we will leave you with the final rankings of the Mystery Bounty Final:

Starting off with a 180,000 jam from BU Alvarez Janno holding K♦ Q♥ and a call from big stack Michael De Leon with A♥ T♣ the dealer ends another player's hopes by hitting the felt with J♠ 3♣ A♦ 8♣ 9♠ to take us down to 9 players getting set up for the final table.

Picking up the action on the flop 6♠ 8♠ 7♠ and 47,000 in the pot we see BB Alvarez Janno lead for 16,000. A call takes us to the checked turn 7♦ for the board to complete 2♦ . A check-call for 75,000 from Alvarez Janno with T♠ 3♠ is good against Yuki Nishio's 7♥ 5♦ .

Kicking off the action with a 166,000 jam from UTG with T♦ 9♦ , Alvares Janno gets called by Vivencio Nachor Jr. from BB holding 3♣ A♥ . The suited connectors hit on T♥ 9♠ K♦ 3♠ Q♥ to gift a double up.

Opening to 42,000 from CO, Ryan Tan takes BB Alvares Janno to the flop Q♦ J♦ A♣ and the action gets checked to the aggressor forking out another 15,000 to take down the pot uncontested.

With UTG Ryan Tan opening 18,000 and BU Alvarez Janno calling we see the flop 4♦ Q♥ 8♠ . A 15,000 c-bet gets called to reveal the turn 4♠ followed by Ryan Tan slowing down with a check. Alvarez Janno tests the waters with a 30,000 lead, countered by a 90,000 raise and decides to go all-in for 235,000. Ryan Tan lets it go to preserve a healthy stack.

That's it for the Flight A Mystery Bounty with hyper active player Janno Alvarez coming out on top of 42 players, bagging 324,000, closely followed by Jeffrey Ponce with 296,000 and Tony Khoang in third with 236,000.

The Day 2 Final will start on Tuesday at 12:00 noon and for those who missed to qualify today we have another chance tomorrow at 17:00 with Flight B.

The final 7 qualifiers are:

Next hand Chua Woo Hian finds himself with A♣ J♥ in the BB, staring at an all-in from SB Janno Alvarez and rolls the dice once more. This time his opponent's K♣ Q♣ finds some help on the board 2♣ Q♥ K♥ 4♠ 8♥ to be the last elimination of the day.

Feeling good about 5♦ 5♥ in UTG, Chua Woo Hian announces another all-in, this time for 27,000 and SB Janno Alvarez calls with A♣ 4♠ . The board does not improve anyone with 3♦ J♥ J♦ 6♦ 8♠ and Chua Woo Hian is back up a little.

Jeffrey Ponce starts us off with a 12,000 raise from SB and BB Janno Alvarez defends to see the flop 6♣ Q♥ 3♥ . Check-call 9,000 from the preflop raiser takes us to the 5♠ turn , checked to the river A♦ . Jeffrey Ponce takes over the reins with a 17,000 lead but has to muck when seeing Janno Alvarez flip over a hero call of K♠ 8♠ .

With a 9,000 open from +2, Janno Alvarez takes BB Kim Hong Ko to the flop 5♦ 9♣ 6♦ that gets checked to the turn A♦ . When checked to him, Janno Alvarez slides out a delayed c-bet for 6,000 that gets called to see the river 7♣ . Another 27,000 bet gets quickly called by Kim Hong Ko with A♠ T♦ , beating Alvarez' K♣ Q♦ .

Michael Reuben Calunsod open-shoves A♥ Q♥ for 120,000 from the button and Janno Alvarez wakes up with A♠ A♣ in the BB. The dealer enlightens us with 4♥ 9♠ J♥ 8♠ Q♦ , sending Reuben Calungsod to the rail.

Picking up the action on the flop Q♠ 2♠ 6♣ and 22,500 in the pot, Janno Alvarez puts out a feeler for 6,500 in position, but gets jammed on by BB Tony Khoang for 78,000 and has to fold.

The hand after, Janno Alvarez open jams with K♥ J♣ from the small blind and BB calls with a 45,000 all-in showing A♣ 2♥ . Neither player hits the board 8♥ T♠ 6♠ 4♠ 9♠ for Chua Woo Hian to come out on top and double.

With an open shove of 42,000 from the button and a call from BB Alvarez Janno with K♥ K♣ , Xia Qi needs help, flipping over A♣ 6♦ . The dealer shares Q♣ 4♠ 5♥ J♦ 8♥ with the table and eliminates Xia Qi.
