Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Buds Ampatuan of the Philippines opens from the +1 position for 12,000 as it folds to the CO where Japan’s Motoya Sato declares he is all-in for his last 46,000. It folds back to the Fiipino who makes the call.

Sato shows 7♠ 7♣ while Ampatuan tables A♥ T♠ .

The flop comes T♣ J♣ 8♠ as even if Ampatuan outflops Sato, the Japanese player still has outs. The turn is the T♦ and no miracle happens on the river as the 5♥ seals the deal and the 34 players remaining all advance to day 2.
