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.

Picking up the action on the three way turn 3♦ T♥ Q♠ 3♣ with 104,000 up for grabs we see all three players check and the board completes 5♥ . Small blind Okumura Kenki goes all-in for 45,000, big blind Alvir Inocentes calls and Joseph Magnotti in +1 gets out of the way before Okumura flips over a boat 3♠ 5♠ against Inocentes' 9♦ T♦ .

Under the gun Alvir Inocentes raises to 10,000 and Okumura Kenki defends his big blind. The flop 6♣ 4♣ 7♣ gets checked around to the turn 3♠ where Kenki leads 8,000, Alvir calls and the board completes 6♠ . The chip leader tries to steal again with Q♥ J♥ , making it 20,000, but Alvir's A♥ 6♦ trips are too strong to fold.

After busting Yu Hyeongmin, Okumura Kenki is the new chip leader with some heavy hitters on his table.

Under the gun Wakatake Masahiro opens 4,000, hijack Alvir Inocentes pumps it to 8,000 and Wakatake calls to see the flop 2♠ 4♦ 3♥ where Inocentes' 8,000 c-bet gets called to reveal the turn 8♠ . Both players check for the board to complete J♥ , Wakatake bets 10,000 with 8♦ 9♦ and Inocentes calls and mucks.

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.

With the board complete 9♠ 9♥ 4♥ 5♦ 7♣ and 27,000 in the middle button Jang Youngwook bets 15,000, and quickly calls when Alvir Inocentes slides his remaining 21,500 over the line. Inocentes' 9♣ 4♦ is good against Jang's 6♥ 6♦ and the 4th place finisher from the Manila Megastack 20 Main Event last December now has a decent stack to work with.
