The final flight of the Mystery Bounty highlight drew in a much bigger 195 entries, bringing the total count to 300 entries exactly. A higher turnout than the expected, its Day 2 games will see the PHP 5,121,600 prize pool be shared amongst its 46 qualifiers. Only 30 players survived the Flight B qualifying rounds with the fall Jongbea Jang, giving the rest a reason to return the following day. Jang flicked in his last four big blinds with K♥ 7♥ on the button and was looked up by Hiroshi Shimizu on the big blind with A♣ 8♣ . Shimizu quickly flopped a pair of aces, ending Jang's run entirely.
At bagging time, Wan Muhammad Darmawan found himself at the pinnacle with a final Day 1 count of 456,000 (91 BB). Local gunners William Ysmael and Marciel Cerbito trail closely behind, each just five big blinds away from the flight chip leader.
