Main Event (18,500 PHP)

With two players seeing a board of 6♣ 7♦ 5♥ 7♣ A♠ and 429,000 in the middle Emanuel Florendo bet 150,000 from the hijack and Liberty Icao called from the button.

Florendo showed trips with K♥ 7♥ and Icao mucked.

Liberty Icao limped in from the small blind and Ludovic Lehaut raised to 20,000 from the big blind, receiving a call from Icao. The flop came T♥ 3♠ 8♥ and Icao checked. Lehaut bet 10,000, Icao check-raised to 30,000 and Lehaut called.

On the 2♥ turn Icao check-called a 30,000 bet from Lehaut. Icao then checked the 5♦ river, Lehaut bet 85,000 and Icao snap-called. Lehaut could only show bottom pair with 6♦ 3♦ while Icao had top pair with J♣ T♦ to take down a decent pot.
