Kickoff (16,500 PHP)

With 18 players left and 13 spots qualifying for Day 2 the Chip Counts are as follows:

Alan Yap kicks off the action with a 9,000 raise from the cutoff and Jon Mari Doria calls from the button. The flop 9♣ K♠ 2♣ has Yap continue for 9,000, Doria raises to 18,500 and Yap fills up to see the turn J♥ . Checked to Doria, 21,000 slide over the line and Yap folds.

Hijack Felix Von Rahden raises to 6,000 and takes two players to the flop 9♦ J♥ 7♠ that gets checked to the turn 8♠ where a delayed c-bet gets called from both opponents before the board completes 3♣ . Von Rahden jams almost 50,000 and scoops the pot.
