Main Event (45,000 PHP)

Felix Von Rahden open shoved his remaining 35,500 following the previous loss and was looked up by Akshaya Kothari right on the big blind.

Von Rahden dominated, exited the arena just as board 2♣ Q♥ 5♣ T♣ 7♥ sealed his fate.

Vying for a pot of 22,000 on flop T♠ 2♠ 4♠ , Akshaya Kothari continued with a bet of 8,500 and called 21,500 more following a check jam from William Ysmael on the big blind.

Ysmael T♣ 9♠

Kothari A♠ Q♥

Gunning for a fourth spade, Kothari found one on runout K♣ 8♠ , sending past Manila Megastack champion Ysmael out the door.

Akshaya Kothari opened 400 utg and shelled out 800 more following a raise from Daniel Wood behind.

On flop 7♥ 9♦ Q♦ , Kothari check called another 600 and got a free pass after Wood checked back turn 8♣ . Kothari paid a final 3,500 on river 7♦ , only to muck as Wood showed K♥ K♠ .

A pot of 12,300 was situated in the middle of a turn board 2♣ 8♦ 4♥ 9♥ . Nick Blackburn on the big blind, checked to Akshaya Kothari, who bet 6,500. Blackburn responded with an all-in for 20,500 more and shipped the pot unchallenged for his timely aggression.

With a pot of 3,200 in the middle on flop 5♥ 7♦ T♥ , Akshaya Kothari launched a 2,500 bet on the button and was check called by his opponent Paul Zehetleiner.

Zehetleiner check called another 7,000 on turn T♠ and checked river T♠ a third time around. Kothari decided to slow down, taking his A♦ A♥ to showdown, more than enough to bag the win against Zehetleiner's 9♦ 9♣ .
