Main Event

Hijack opened to 14,000 and was met with an all-in for 95,000 from small blind Joseph Talamayan. Big blind Raymundo Gomez makes the call and the original raiser gets out of the way.

Talamayan K♥ Q♣ Gomez A♣ J♣

At risk, Talamayan was in luck after the board Q♥ T♥ 3♣ 4♠ 9♣ gave him top pair allowing him to survive through.

A raised pot, Jose Colada bet jam all-in for 76,000 with K♠ Q♦ on flop Q♠ 5♦ 8♠ and ran right into Joseph Talamayan’s better A♠ Q♥ . No king on either turn 6♠ or river 9♣ meant Colada is knocked out from the tournament one spot short of the money.

On to another table, hijack Lee Suya open shoved 81,000 in with 7♣ 7♠ and was quickly called by big blind Bonifacio Mondalo with A♥ A♠ . Bonifacio cruised through board Q♦ K♠ T♣ Q♣ 2♦ and collected the pot whilst eliminating Lee from the Main Event games.

Hijack Joseph Talamayan sent out a three bet to 4,600, joined by original raiser Chen Ting Yi and the small blind. Flop J♣ T♦ 6♠ saw Talamayan continue for 6,000, check called by Chen. Turn Q♥ went check check, leading to river 8♣ . Chen led out a small bet of 1,800 and snap folded after Talamayan shoved all-in.

A limp pot, five players headed on to see flop 3♦ 5♦ Q♦ . Checked to last to act John Paul Flores, he bet 1,500. Small blind calls and big blind Cezar Quiambao raised all-in, called by Flores.

Quiambao 3♣ 3♥ Flores 8♣ 8♥

Drawing to two outs, Flores was eliminated from the table after the runout J♦ T♦ spared no eights.

On to the next hand, Cezar Quiambao got it in with A♦ K♦ against short stacked Joseph Talamayan’s 5♠ 5♥ and ran board K♣ 6♣ Q♣ A♣ J♦ . Quiambao won the flip and collected another boost for his two pair.
