Main Event (18,500 PHP)

From the +2 position, Thailand’s Piyawat Kidrangsikul raises to 32,000 and it folds to the SB big stack Jason Wei of Singapore who re-raises it to 80,000. Kidrangsikul makes the call.

The flop comes 7♣ Q♣ A♥ as Wei CBets for 60,000. Kidrangsikul calls. The turn is the 2♦ and this time, both check. The river card is the Q♦ as Wei checks again and Kidrangsikul fires 125,000. Wei quickly calls.

Kidrangsikul turns over K♥ T♥ for a missed gutshot straight while Wei shows A♦ J♥ for top pair on the flop and a takedown that has him nearing the seven-digit chip mark.

The action gets folded to the CO where Thailand’s Piyawat Kidrangsikul goes for it all and commits his remaining stack of 121,000 into the pot. It folds to the SB where Suguru Yonezawa of Japan makes the call.

Kidrangsikul unveils K♠ Q♦ while Yonezawa is ahead with AS T♦ .

The flop goes 3♦ 7♦ 5♣ which keeps the Japanese player in the lead. The turn card is the A♦ as Yonezawa’s hit gives the Thai player a possible flush which comes on the river as the 2♦ completes a one-card flush to give the double-up to Kidrangsikul and with it a severe crippling to the stack of Yonezawa.
