Kickoff (16,500 PHP)

Jester Intia opened utg+1 and flicked in the rest after Sunhwi An pushed all-in for 32,000.

Board 5♠ T♠ A♦ K♦ 6♦ missed to pair up An's overcards, knocking him out just a few places short of making Day 2.

A pot of 18,000 was seen on flop 9♥ 8♦ J♣ with Sunhwi An's opponent already all-in. Initial raiser continued for 4,000, called behind by Sunhwi An for a side pot.
