Single Day High Roller (75,000 PHP)

"That you can show up to work everyday and make right decisions or mostly the right decision, and still lose for a very long period of time, and this is just part of a game. Sometimes you win big but today was a small win.", commented Zalac following his latest victory.

A win is a win indeed, and this time Jayden Zalac walked away with a trophy in hand after topping the Single Day High Roller for PHP 261,800 in cash. With only 8 entries in its books, the single table tournament ran for nearly eight hours on the floor before the entire PHP 523,800 prize pool was awarded to its top three finishers. Eric Yaputra was the unfortunate bubble elimination, earning no return on his investment after his last eight big blinds with A♥ K♣ failed to hold up against Seiji Sasaki's Q♦ T♦ . Sasaki went on to reach heads up play against Zalac, yet at a 2:1 deficit for a chance to claim the trophy. The Australian pro eventually sealed the deal, with the final hand seeing his 7♣ 6♣ stand firm against Sasaki's A♠ J♥ on a board of 3♣ 9♥ 4♣ T♣ T♥ , earning him a career third PokerStars spadie.
