#53 Mini Main Event (15,000 PHP)

One of the last events in the Manila Megastack 21 menu was the Mini Main Event, and like its past editions, it was a big hit with 176 entries contributing the ₱15,000 (~$260) buy in. This easily surpassed the ₱1M guarantee, and in its place, a much larger ₱2,253,504 (~$36,635) prize pool. Out of the 27 players that dipped in the pot, Filipino Renaldo Kris Tan emerged victorious after a commanding performance at the final table.
At four handed, Tan delivered a double knockout with pocket Kings standing tall against two Ace-Jacks. Good fortune continued at heads up, calling all in with 8♠ 3♥ open-ended then connected on the river to dust Harish Asnani's K♠ T♦ top pair on a board T♥ 7♠ 9♦ Q♦ 6♠ .
