Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Edilberto Gopez of the Philippines opens from UTG for 15,000 and right beside him in the +1 position, Canada’s Robert Williams makes the call. Everyone else folds.

The flop comes 8♥ 2♦ 9♠ as Gopez checks. Williams bets 15,000 and gets check-raised to 40,000. The Canadian re-raises all-in for his remaining stack of 76,000 and Gopez makes the snap call.

Williams unveils T♠ T♣ for an over-pair to the board while the Filipino tables K♠ K♥ for a bigger over-pair.

The last two community cards are the Q♥ and the 8♦ as Williams is busted and the money bubble looms.

Baek Youngseok of Korea has it folded to him on the HJ as he raises it 600 and gets three callers.

The flop comes 2♥ 6♣ 8♦ as it is checked back to Baek who also checks. On the D, Canada’s Robert Williams bets 2,000 and no one calls.

Robert Williams of Canada raises from UTG to 400 and gets caller in Korea’s Kang Wanhee in the +1 position and a player in the SB.

The flop goes 9♥ 2♠ 4♥ as SB checks. Williams continues for 500 as Kang calls. The SB folds. It is Heads-Up to the turn where the K♦ arrives. Both Williams and Kang skip this street. The river is the 2♥ and this time, Williams leads out for 2,000. Kang makes the call.

Williams flips over A♦ K♠ for top pair-top kicker on the turn while the Korean tables K♣ J♣ and is outkicked, losing the pot to the Canadian.
