Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Emanuel Florendo opened to 60,000 from the hijack, Zhifan Ye three-bet shoved for 195,000 from the button, Janno Alvarez called from the small blind and Florendo called.

The flop came 5♠ A♦ K♥ and Alvarez check-folded to a 200,000 bet from Florendo.

Zhifan Ye: 4♥ 4♦

Emanuel Florendo: K♦ 2♦

Ye was drawing to just two outs against Florendo’s pair of kings and after failing to catch a four on the Q♣ 5♣ runout he was eliminated and exited the tournament area.
