Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Dmitrii Belikov shoved for 370,000 from the cutoff and Ko Okubo called from the small blind with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Okubo’s pocket tens held up on the 8♣ 3♣ 5♣ 7♠ 8♠ runout and he won the pot while Belikov was eliminated and exited the tournament area.

A player in early position opened to 21,000, Pee Jay Aratea shoved for 139,000 from the hijack, Dmitrii Belikov re-shoved for 195,000 from the button and the original raiser got out of the way.

Belikov remained ahead with the higher pocket pair on the 2♣ 2♠ 9♥ 5♠ 9♦ runout to send Aratea to the rail and take the pot.
