Main Event (18,500 PHP)

Cyprus’ Anastasios Pavlou goes all-n from UTG for his last 54,500 as Zhou Yue Cen of China also shoves his remaining stack of 74,500 from the CO. They are both called by Israel’s Yossef Cohen from the SB.

Pavlou shows A♦ T♥ while Zhou is slightly ahead with 8♣ 8♦ . However, Cohen flips over K♣ K♠ making it difficult for the Chinese player to trudge on.

The flop goes 4♥ 3♣ J♦ as the Israeli is looking good to knock out two. The turn is the 2♥ but the river is the 5♠ as Pavlou triples up with a one-card wheel straight, backdoor variety. Zhou still gets the axe as Cohen takes the side pot.
