Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Switzerland’s Oleg Mordassov opens from the +1 position for 3,000 and it folds to the D where Son Changman of Korea 3-bet shoves his last 21,600. It gets back to Mordassov who makes the call.

Son learns he is in a coin-flip for his tournament life as he tables J♦ J♥ against his opponent’s K♦ Q♠ .

The flop instantly gave the edge to the Swiss player: 3♥ K♥ Q♠ but it was immediately restored on the turn as the J♣ gives Son a set. Needing to hit any King or Queen to reverse the impending outcome, the 7♦ arrives on the river to give the Korean a new lease on life and sending Mordassov’s stack to about 15 BBs in the process.
