Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

The action gets folded to the blinds where Benie Goldstein of the United States open shoves his last 25,000 from the SB but gets promptly called by Canada’s Robert Williams in the BB.

The cards are revealed as Goldstein shows K♥ K♠ while Williams has J♥ J♠ .

The flop immediately kept the American firmly entrenched in the lead as it comes K♣ T♣ 5♥ for top set. The turn, however, gave the Canadian a glimmer of a miracle as the J♦ arrives. However, no miracle is in store on the river as the 3♥ giving Goldstein a double up and more ammunition to keep trudging on.
