#2 Warm-up (12,500 PHP)
Warm-up

The Manila Megastack once again proved its strong following as the Warm-Up event kicked off with an eager field of 117 entries. With a PHP 12,500 (~US$ 220) buy-in, the event generated a PHP 1,248,390 prize pool, setting the stage for an exciting opening day.


With seven Filipinos in the final lineup, it was no surprise to see a homegrown champion rise to the occasion. Edgar Asehan made his presence felt early, knocking out Alvir Inocentes in 8th place before taking a more patient approach as the field thinned. Edilberto Gopez, Michael Bueza, and Kawai Katsuhito took charge, eliminating several contenders. Katsuhito’s deep run ended in 4th place after his 5 5 fell to Bueza’s 6 6.


At three-handed, Asehan seized control by raising all in on a board A K J 7 to claim a crucial three-way pot. This gave him the edge which he kept intact to the finish line. Asehan eliminated Bueza with K Q over A 2 on a board K 8 2 8 Q , then finished off Gopez with Q 6 top pair over J 9 with the shoves on the turn that completed 2 T Q J 5 .


Asehan cleared a cool PHP 299,390 (~US$ 5,220) along with his career seventh PokerStars spadie.
