Kickoff (16,500 PHP)

MikeTakayama opened 11,000 on the hijack, and called off Joseph Magnotti's 50,000 all-in from the small blind.

Magnotti in rough shape, was left drawing dead instantly as board 9♥ 9♦ 4♣ 4♥ J♦ landed Takayama quads to deliver the bust.

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.

Bonghyun Lee opened 1,000 utg, joined by both players on the blinds onto flop A♦ K♣ J♥ . Lee continued for 1,400, and saw both stick around to turn T♠ . All three checked it through to river 9♠ , where Joseph Magnotti led 2,000. Lee paid the price, only to muck as Magnotti revealed straight Q♠ J♣ .

Joonghoon Eom limped on the button, followed by a raise to 900 from Joseph Magnotti on the small blind. Both the big blind and Eom completed, and went on to battle on board 6♠ 5♠ K♠ 6♥ 5♦ . Magnotti bet all three streets - 500, 1,600 and a final 1,000, with Eom calling him down all the way with top pair K♥ T♦ . Magnotti showed bluff A♥ 7♥ and shipped the pot to his opponent.
