Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Eugene Tito of the United States opens from UTG but gets greeted by a 3-bet shove from India’s Nikhil Gutta in the +1 position for his last 40,300. Also going all-in from the BB is Filipino Jesus Rivera for his remaining stack of 24,500. Tito covers both and gives it moment before electing to make the call.

Gutta flips over A♥ T♥ while Rivera shows A♦ Q♦ . Only their suits are live as the American has them both dominated with A♣ K♣ .

The runout goes 8♥ 9♦ 4♠ 2♣ 7♣ as Tito scoops the pots and waylays two players to have his stack breach the century mark.

From the +1 position, Jesus Rivera of the Philippines commits his last 11,800 to the pot and gets a caller in India’s Nikhil Gutta in the LJ. No one else joins.

Rivera turns over A♥ Q♠ which dominates Gutta’s A♦ 8♦ .

The flop is 6♠ T♠ 9♥ which gives the Indian four additional outs with the gutshot but the last two community cards are the 2♦ and the K♠ to give the Filipino a double up at Gutta’s expense.
