Main Event (18,500 PHP)

A player in early position opened to 2,400 and received a call from Carl Quebec in the hijack before Acharya Anant three-bet to 6,000 from the button. The early position player folded, Quebec shoved for 20,400 and Anant called with a covering stack to put Quebec at risk.

The board ran out 4♥ 4♣ J♣ T♠ K♦ giving Anant kings up to send Quebec to the rail and win the pot.

With three players seeing a board of K♦ 5♠ 8♣ and 5,400 in the middle a player in the big blind checked and Michael Wookju Chung checked from middle position before Acharya Anant bet 2,500 from the hijack. Only Chung called.

Both players checked the 8♠ turn leading to the 6♣ river. Chung bet 4,500 and Anant called. Chung was bluffing with J♦ 3♣ while Anant had top pair with K♣ 7♥ to win the pot.

With two players seeing a board of A♠ 3♠ Q♠ 3♦ 6♣ and 13,300 in the middle Daiki Shirashima shoved for 12,200 from the big blind and Acharya Anant called with a covering stack from the hijack to put him at risk.

Anant was drawing dead against Shirashima’s flush and after the 6♣ river Shirashima secured a full double up at his expense.
