Kickoff (16,500 PHP)

Joris Michl pushed all-in utg for 211,000 and was happily called by Czar Ian Marcos behind.

Crushed against the rockets, no help for Michl arrived on board 7♣ J♠ 8♣ 9♠ Q♦ , ending his run entirely.

Joris Michl defended his big blind against Peter Chung's 20,000 utg open, and check called another 20,000 on flop Q♠ 2♣ 9♦ . No bets went in on either turn 3♦ or river 3♥ , revealing Mich's 8♦ 8♥ good for the pot.

Joris Michl opened utg+1 and went on to four bet jam his entire 102,000 against Ilia Timofeev's raise behind. Timofeeve made the call, and found himself in rough shape for a chunk of his stack.

Michl a huge favorite, easily secured the double up right on board 6♠ 4♣ 2♠ 7♣ K♠ .

With 29 players left holding on to their seats, that means the day is about to close with 9 more eliminations to go before is reached. 20 players are set to advance to Day 2, joining yesterday's 10-survivor qualifier list.
