Recent Casualties on Day 1a

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

A♠ expected, the casualties after the end of the late registration kept coming rather quickly and among those to bow out was also Mike Takayama, who entered the previous level with only seven big blinds. He will, however, certainly be back for more action tomorrow and during the entire festival at Okada Manila.

Michael Bueza Doubles Through Ho-Tai Tsai

Level 8: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

Michael Bueza

Michael Bueza raised to 2,500 and instantly called all-in for 14,800 when Ho-Tai Tsai three-bet large for 75,000 in middle position once everyone else had folded.

Queens beat jacks for Bueza to double and dent the larger stack of Tsai
