#38 Mini Main Event (12,500 PHP)

Festival closer Mini Main Event gave players one last chance to capture a spadie and turn a ₱5,000 (~$85) buy in into a substantial payout. With 174 turning up, it built a prize pool of ₱1,856,580 (~$31,660). Out of the 23 players that monied, it was Russia's Nikolai Babushkin claiming the trophy and a cool ₱203,880 (~$3,477) heads up deal payout.

After Babushkin eliminated Kazuki Yamashita in 3rd place with pocket Threes spiking the two outer to defeat pocket Eights, he amassed a towering stack that Masahiro Nakamura could not crack. On the third showdown, Babushkin nailed it shut with 9♦ 7♠ over 4♣ 5♠ on a board 3♠ 9♠ 2♥ 2♦ 3♥ with the shoves seen at the flop.
