Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

In a brewing hand that has a pot of 7,000 and a board of 2♦ T♦ T♥ 3♠ Japan’s Keigo Hoshi checks as Kim Sangbum of Korea bets 3,400. Hoshi then check-raises all-in as the Korean calls for his last 9,400.

Hoshi shows T♠ 6♦ while Kim has him dominated with Q♦ T♣ .

The river is the A♦ as Kim doubles through off the Japanese player.

With a hefty pot of 28,200 and a board of Q♥ 9♣ 6♣ Ireland’s Patrick Noonan goes all-in and gets called by Keigo Hoshi of Japan for his last 18,800.

Noonan tables K♠ K♥ while Hoshi is in bad shape with A♠ Q♠ (top pair-top kicker in the worst spot).

However, the turn card is the A♥ and the river could not help the Irishman out of the abyss as the 6♥ arrives.

Noonan’s stack plummets to emergency levels.
