Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Philippines' Aaron Cuason limps in from the HJ and gets the CO to call. Folded to the SB, Jannodin Riga of the Philippines raises it 12,000 as it gets 3-bet by chip leader Niroshan Loganathan of Canada in the BB to 26,000. Cuason 4-bet shoves his last 45,000 as the CO folds and Riga 5-bet shoves for his last 121,000. Loganathan opts to step aside.

Cuason tables J♠ J♦ and is unfortunate that he runs into Riga’s K♥ K♠ .

The flop puts the matter beyond doubt: K♣ K♦ 7♣ as the Filipino gets quads and has his Filipino opponent drawing dead. The last two community cards are the 3♦ and the 6♥ as Cuason becomes the latest Day 1C casualty.
