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:

Looking down at A♣ Q♣ it is now or never for UTG William Kang to jam his remaining 300,000. Unfortunately for him, Francisco Sanchez wakes up with Q♥ Q♠ in the big blind and the dealer cant find an ace on 4♥ 6♥ K♥ T♣ Q♦ thereby ending William Kang's deep run.

Folded to SB Michael Cerbito, 40,000 go in the middle with BB William Kang defending to see the flop 8♣ 5♥ 9♠ . A 110,000 c-bet and a call present the turn 5♦ and another 80,000 is good for Cerbito to take it down.

After a full 17 levels of play, the starting field of 151 got reduced to the final 23 entering tomorrow's Day 2 Final with Ryan Tan accumulating a whopping 518,000 to take first place, Vivencio Nachor Jr. bagging 449,000 in 2nd and Jose Colada - after an early exit - making good use of his additional bullet to finish 3rd with 318,000 to his name.

A total of 193 entries over both flights got us well above the guaranteed prize pool with a final ₱3,294,896 to be distributed among the 30 finalists tomorrow. The top spot will take home at least ₱440,000 from the regular prize pool and a share of the bounty pool ranging from the lowest ₱26,000 up to the largest one of ₱250,000.

The final will start in just under 10 hours from now at 12:00 noon going all the way to the end when the winner will be crowned. Live updates are going to be there with you.

Here are the final 23 chip counts from Flight B :

This time we have William Kang wake up with A♦ K♦ on the button for an easy all-in of 95,000. BB Claude Henoud covers by quite some margin and decides to call with K♣ J♠ . The dealer treats us with A♣ 7♣ T♥ 3♥ 4♠ , thereby keeping the bubble a perfect sphere.
