In the end, Germany’s Markus Wolter nested the field and took down the top prize of PhP324.656 (~US$5,820), outlasting Kevin Mateo of the Philippines in their Heads Up duel. Mateo actually had a more than 2-1 chip lead until the German swung for the fences with K♥ Q♥ for his last 2,200,000 and got called by Mateo with A♦ 2♠ . The subsequent runout had Wolter obtaining trips: Q♦ J♦ T♣ Q♠ 7♣ to switch the advantage.

The end came when Mateo was once again ahead preflop with K♥ 8♥ against Wolter’s K♦ 6♣ but the river favored the German ( Q♦ 3♣ 7♠ 5♥ 6♥ ) for the title.

Mateo collected PhP202,000 (~US$3,620) while third place went to Japan’s Tetsuya Ogura for PhP144,000 (~US$2,580).
