Warm-up (12,500 PHP)

After his cowboys failed, Jonald Garcia got kings again and this time it proved its might. Following a raise by Masakazu Miyamoto that was called by short stacked Waki Yasuhiro with less behind, Garcia three-bet enough to get Miyamoto to fold. Garcia wins the runout, to bring the field down to 20 players. It is bubble time.

Japanese showdown between Masakazu Miyamoto and Waki Yasuhiro. Miyamoto initiated with a 15,000 raise, Waki shoved, Miyamoto called for everything then survived the flip.
