Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Celebrated Filipino pro Moses Saquing commits his last 4,000 to the pot from the +1 position and gets two callers in Nikhil Gutta of India in the HJ and Japan’s Shinji Kubo in the CO.

The flop comes A♥ 7♥ J♠ as Gutta bets 6,000 and does not create a side pot as Kubo folds.

Saquing turns over K♠ J♥ for second pair while the Indian shows A♣ 5♥ for top pair on the flop. The turn, however, brings in the K♦ to give the Filipino two pairs which holds on the river as the 8♥ arrives.

Saquing triples up while the loss brings Gutta to below the starting stack.

The Philippines’ Moses Saquing starts it off with a raise from UTG to 700 and gets calls from Nikhil Gutta of India in the HJ, Japan’s Shinji Kubo in the CO and Chen Yi Hung of Taiwan on the D.

The flop is 8♠ 3♣ T♠ as Saquing continues for 800. No one leaves. The turn is the 3♠ and this time, all four players check. The river is the 5♥ as it is checked to Kubo who bets 6,000. Saquing and Guyya call, but Chen folds.

Kubo turns over A♠ 9♠ for the nut flush on the turn. Saquing mucks and Gutta shows 6♠ 6♦ .
