Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

Finland’s Ville Vallenius open shoves from UTG for his last 49,000 and going all-in for less is the recently crippled Kang Myeonghwa of Korea for 34,500 in the +2 position. Pushing the blinds out of the way is Raymond Enriquez of the Philippines who 3-bet shoves to isolate. The blinds fold.

Vallenius turns over A♠ J♣ while Kang is in bad shape with A♦ T♥. However, both are in dire straits against Enriquez’s A♣ K♠ .

The runout goes: 6♣ 2♦ 7♦ Q♣ 7♥ as the Filipino not only finishes off Kang but also eliminates the Finn in the process.

With the action folded to the D of Korea’s Kang Myeonghwa, he open shoves but gets called on the BB of Filipino Raymond Enriquez who is at risk with his last 54,000.

However, Enriquez likes his chances when Kang turns over A♣ 8♦ against his A♦ J♦ .

True enough, the runout made it official for the Filipino: 9♠ 2♣ 5♣ 3♥ 7♠ . Enriquez gets his much coveted double up and sends Kang’s stack spiraling to dangerously low levels.
