Kickoff (16,500 PHP)

Topping yesterday's Flight A by almost 50% with a total of 132 entries and 20 more names added to the line up for the Day 2 Final tomorrow at 1pm we just breached the PHP 3,000,000 prize pool by the end of late registration that now sits at PHP 4,633,768 with Flight C still underway.

Lemmor Patulot ran away from the field in the closing stages finishing the day with a whopping 549,000, Ryan Tan came in 2nd with 364,000 and Kim Byungsung a close 3rd, having 356,000 to his name.

Live Updates will continue at the Flight C page shortly.

Fresh from his win of the APT Manila Classic Double Stack for over PHP 1M exactly one month ago, Aj Cris Acdal opens 5,000 from the cutoff, button Fu Zhenbo Alang three-bets to 12,000 and Acdal fills up to see the flop 7♥ T♥ J♥ . Zhenbo continues for 6,000, Acdal calls and the turn is the 2♣ where Zhenbo forks out another 16,000. Acdal calls after spending some time in the tank, the board completes 9♦ and Acdal switches to an 8,000 lead, making it look like a weak blocker bet, Zhenbo falls for it and puts Acdal all-in who snaps his last 44,000 with A♥ 3♥ flush, scooping the pot against Zhenbo's 8♦ 8♥ straight.

Having breached the PHP 3,000,000 guaranteed prize pool already and one more Flight getting ready to start right now, the remaining 70 players are all gunning to get one of today's 20 qualification spots to come back tomorrow at 1pm for Day 2 fighting for the crown.
