Main Event Day 1C Hits 396 Entries as 59 Advance to Day 2, Loganathan Leads Charge

With the prize pool at the end of Day 1C’s registration at PhP14,812,521 (~US$263,780), Day 1D is underway and later it will be determined how much the final payouts will be as Day 1C’s 396 is the most of the three qualifiers thus far and brought in 59 new players that are already ITM and moving on to Day 2.
Unlike the previous Day 1s, however, Canada’s Niroshan Loganathan was a steady force after picking up the chip lead before the midway mark of the competition and despite several upheavals—mostly from the Filipino layers—he was able to build on it and coast until the end.
Loganathan was believed to have burst the bubble when he busted Filipino Alexis Lim. But it proved to be the penultimate elimination as the bubble was burst not long after when Singapore’s Thomas Po called the shove of Filipino short-stack Mark Anthony Chua who went all-in with A♠ T♠ and was behind all the way against Po’s A♠ J♦ as the board blanked out ensuring the final 59 who will be moving on.
The Canadian finished hostilities with 679,000 in chips while being pursued by three Filipinos in Kevin Mateo in second with 485,000, Richard Marquez in third with 451,000 and Mark Solsona with 441,000. Fifth place was held by Taiwan’s Lin Yu Hsien for 408,000.
A total of 140 now comprise those seeing action in Day 2 which takes place tomorrow (June 15) still at 12:00NN (UCT+8).
Day 1D is still ongoing.

Lee Rails Bobis with Rockets, Nears Century Chip Mark

From the +1 position, Rhael Bobis of the Philippines opens for 1,000 and gets two callers before Korea’s Lee Dong Seok 3-nets it to 5,500 from the D. It folds back to Bobis who calls, as do the players in the +2 position and the HJ.
The flop goes 8♣ 6♦ A♣ as Bobis declares that he is all-in for his remaining stack of 22,500. It folds to Lee who makes the quick call.
Bobis tables J♣ T♣ for a flush draw while Lee shows A♠ A♦ for top set on the flop.
The turn card is the J♠ to give the Filipino added outs, but the river card is the 8♦ as Lee sends Bobis to the sidelines and gets his stack closer to six-figures in the victory.
