The Philippines Wins Second Title as Hernan Villa Triumphs in Deepstack

Just two days after Maxwell Rosete took down the (Event #11) Hyper Turbo, the Philippines claims its second trophy in these proceedings as Hernan Villa bested a field of 165 entries to snare the title in (Event #16) the Deepstack as the original guaranteed prize pool was once again almost doubled.

Villa received the top purse of PhP310,940 (~US$5,575) as the initial PhP780,000 (~US$13,980) GTD prize pool rose to PhP1,408,440 (~US$25,245) and was even responsible for the last three bust outs en route to the win.

The final hand saw Villa’s J♠ 8♣ hit two pairs on the turn and shoved the river and was called by Japan’s Shun Oikawa who had a pair of tens. Oikawa earned PhP194,000 (~US$3,475) for placing second. Another Filipino in Lenart Ecarna got PhP138,000 (~US$2,475) for his third place finish.

All Final Table participants also got APPT Super Qualifier seats worth PhP9,000 (~US$160).
