Main Event

Hijack Kawaguchi Akihiro shoved in his 16,000 left with A♥ K♦ and was called by small blind Janno Alvarez with 6♦ 2♦ . Up for a race, Alvarez paired up on the flop 2♣ 3♣ Q♥ 9♥ A♠ but the river gave Kawaguchi top pair to survive bubble time.

Cutoff Janno Alvarez opened to 9,000 with A♠ Q♥ and called off button Jose Drilon’s 60,000 jam. Drilon with A♣ 5♠ was in rough shape and failed to catch up on board 3♣ 8♣ 6♣ T♥ T♠ to knock him out of the running.

Cutoff Janno Alvarez opened to 6,000 and was met with a three bet to 16,000 from button Diana Tan. Alvarez clapped back with another raise to 31,000, called by Tan. Flop 4♥ J♣ 3♣ saw all the chips pile in, both players with an overpair.

Alvarez A♥ A♠ Tan Q♠ Q♥

Left drawing to two outs, Tan headed for the rails after no queen showed up on the runout J♥ 3♥ .
