Main Event (18,500 PHP)

In one of the sickest hands thus far, the pot is already at 36,000 with a flop of K♣ T♠ Q♠ Akiyoshi Kono of Japan declares he is all-in for his last 34,000 and gets an all-in response as well from India’s Jayantilal Mangilal Jain for his remaining 32,500.

Kono tables Q♥ Q♦ for middle set while Jain shows T♦ T♣ for bottom set. The turn is the A♠ to give the Indian player hope of either hitting a straight or chopping with one when the improbable happens: the river card is the T♥ to give Jain quads and defeat Kono’s full house.

Kono’s stack is all but obliterated and the sick beat puts Jain past the century mark.
