Main Event (45,000 PHP)

Four players stare down a pot of 180,000 and a flop 6♦ 2♣ 2♥ . After two checks, preflop raiser Maro Espela bets 85,000, Christopher Richards calls, small blind Michihiko Matsuda raises 200,000, Campomanes re-raises 330,000, everyone folds.

Marco Espela opens and two players call to see the flop 4♣ 2♠ 6♠ . Action is checked to the button John Carlo Sayo who takes a stab for 42,000, this loses one player while Espela raises to 120,000. Sayo passes.

With no hits for Campomanes, Espela ships it and catapults into the million marker.

Small blind Dmitrii Belikov limps then calls big blind Marco Espela's 28,000 raise. Both check to the turn 5♥ T♠ J♠ 7♦ . Belikov tests the waters with a 35,000 bet, Espela calls, and they head to the river J♦ . This time Belikov returns to checking, Espela gives it a go for 81,000 and wins the pot uncontested.

Richards is ahead while Espela hopes for a club. The river K♠ is not it to grant Richards the double up.
