Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

Alma Aguila of the Philippines opens from the CO for 2,500 and gets re-raised all-in by American Amir Fateh for his last 14,000. The Filipina makes the call.

Fateh turns over J♠ 9♠ while Aguila has K♥ Q♣ .

The first three community cards gave the American a sliver of hope: T♠ 7♥ K♦ as he flops a gutshot. However, the next two were of no help: 3♦ A♥ .

With the elimination of Fateh, Aguila’s roller coaster ride on her solitary bullet continues.

The action is folded to the CO where India’s Jayantilal Jain limps in. Amir Fateh of the United States completes his SB and the player in the BB checks his option.

The flop comes K♣ Q♠ 6♦ as Fateh and the BB check. Jain bets 1,500 and Fteh makes the call. The player in the BB folds. It is now Heads Up to the turn where the Q♥ shows up. Both check. The river is the T♥ and this time, the American fires 1,000. Jain raises to 2,500 and gets called.

Much to everyone’s surprise, Jain tables A♣ A♦. Fateh mucks.
