Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Kang Beomhui of Korea opens from UTG for 1,000 and it folds to the CO where Christopher de Lara of the Philippines 3-bets it to 3,300. Kang makes the call.

The flop comes 5♥ 8♣ 6♦ as Kang checks. De Lara continues for 3,800 and gets called. The turn is the 2♣ as once again the Korean checks. De Lara now makes it 7,000 to go as Kang now check-raises all-in. The Filipino calls for his last 31,300.

Kang shows Q♥ Q♠ for an over-pair to the board and to the hole cards of de Lara who shows 9♦ 9♣ but with a gutshot since the flop.

The gutshot comes into fruition on the river when the 7♣ arrives and the bad beat by de Lara sinks Kang’s stack to 10,000.
