Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Stanislav Song of Kazakhstan opens from the +1 position for 9,000 and the action folds all the way to the SB where big stack Mark Solsona of the Philippines re-raises it to 22,000. Back to Song, he makes the call.

The flop comes Q♥ A♥ T♣ as Solsona continues for 20,000. Song calls. The turn card is the A♥ as the Filipino fires anew, this time for 50,000. Song raises all-in and gets the snap call from Solsona.

The Kazakh turns over A♣ J♣ for trips on the turn while Solsona flips over Q♣ Q♦ for a full house on the turn. Needing an Ace or a Jack on the river, neither arrive as the 9♥ shows up.

The axing of Song has Solsona among the biggest stacks of Day 1C.
