Main Event (20,000 PHP)

Hijack Anthony Gabitan flicked in his 470,000 stack with A♥ 7♣ and was called by both players on the blinds. Action on board 4♣ 4♠ 3♥ 6♥ J♦ was checked all the way to the river where Kento Chogo showed Q♣ 9♣ and Lee Woosang with J♥ 6♠ . Lee takes the pot with two pair, leaving the final table four handed.

Cutoff Lee Woosang opened to 250,000 and called off small blind Anthony Gabitan’s 500,000 jam. In for a race, the board Q♣ A♥ 3♦ K♣ K♦ quickly landed in Gabitan’s favor, earning him a much needed double up.

After a grueling 11 hours of Day 2 action, the Main Event games wrapped up with the final nine players set led by local runner Ronato Alcano. Alcano stacks a mighty 7,710,000, having delivered two eliminations right by the last half hour of the day. Coming in close second is South Korea’s Kim Bok with a slightly lesser yet equally impressive 7,350,000 chip count to start the final day festivities.

Each player returning to the felt is now guaranteed a minimum payout of PHP 321,944 and a fighting chance to claim the PHP 3,670,000 top prize! Action resumes at 16:00 where a new MSS champion will be crowned by the end of the night.

Utg Chogo Kento opened to 250,000 and saw Anthony Gabitan come along from the big blind. Action was checked all the way down to the river 7♥ J♦ 4♠ 3♥ 3♠ where Chogo chucked out a 300,000 bet. Gabitan makes the call, only to muck after Chogo felted 9♥ 9♦ .
