Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Jose Cheung of the Philippines and Japan’s Daiki Goto engage in a preflop raising war that ends up in all of their chip going into the pot as the Filipino is at risk for his last 30,500.

Cheung shows Q♣ Q♦ while Goto sees he is behind with 9♠ 9♣ .

The flop is 8♦ K♣ 7♣ but then the T♦ arrives on the turn to give the Japanese player an open-ended straight redraw which he hits on the river as the J♠ shows up to bust Cheung and bring Goto into the chip leader conversation.
