Main Event (18,500 PHP)

India’s Parikshit Jain is down to his last 1,000 chip and throws it in to the pot from the +1 position as it folds to the SB where Jonathan Looi of Malaysia raises it to 10,000. In the BB, another Indian in Ridesh Sejpal goes all-in for his remaining stack of 37,000. Looi calls.

Jain tables 9♦ 8♥ and is live against Sejpal’s A♠ K♥ which dominates Looi’s A♣ T♠ .

The flop fortifies Sejpal’s lead: K♠ 2♠ 9♣ and the last two community cards are the 3♠ (to have Looi drawing dead) and the 4♣ to eliminate Jain. Sejpal keeps himself in contention with the double up.
