Main Event (18,500 PHP)

In another hand in progress, the pot is already at 45,500 with a flop of K♠ J♣ J♠ Korea’s Park Sangsub checks from the HJ and in the CO goes all-in for his remaining stack of 29,800. Park makes the call.

Matsuzaka shows A♥ A♦ while Park is down to a gutshot holding A♠ T♥ .

The turn is the 9♥ but the river brings the Q♣ as Park sucks out on the Japanese player, booting him out in the process. Park now joins the century chip club.

Jeong Seonghun of Korea raises it 2,400 from the +1 position and gets a call from HJ, However, Hiroyuki Matsuzaki of Japan 3-bet shoves his remaining stack of 21,400 on the D and gets a 4-bet shove from another Korean in An Sangjin in the BB. Seong snap calls for his tournament life as the player in the HJ folds.

Matsuzaki turns over J♦ 8♦ while An shows 3♦ 3♠ . They’re both at a disadvantage against Jeong who tables Q♠ Q♣ .

That didn’t last long, though, as the flop goes 5♠ 3♥ 7♠ as An surges ahead with bottom set. The 9♦ on the turn gives the Japanese player a semblance of hope but the river card is the 2♠ to complete the bust outs of Matsuzaki and Seong as An now surpasses the century chip mark.
