Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Sasaki Ho of Japan commits his remaining stack of 14,000 into the pot from the +1 position and gets two callers in Oleg Mordassov of Switzerland in the HJ and Korea’s Park Sangsub in the BB.

The flop comes K♠ 5♣ J♦ as Park checks. Mordassov bets 12,000 and gets called as the side pot builds. The turn card is the 5♥ and suddenly the Korean goes all-in. Mordassov makes the quick call for his last 82,000.

Ho shows A♥ 7♠ while the Swiss player turns over K♥ J♣ for top two pairs on the flop. Park flips over 5♦ 2♦ for trips on the turn and the lead. The river card is the 6♠ to send Ho and Mordassov to the sidelines for good in Day 1A.

With the win, Park is now the Day 1A chip leader.
