Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

Carlos Monton of the Philippines limps from UTG and the action gets folded to the SB where another Filipino in Jonald Garcia raises it to 3,100. Ki Young Son of Korea calls from the BB and Monton also joins in.

The flop goes 7♠ 6♥ K♣ as all three players check. The turn is the Q♥ as Garcia now leads out for 3,000. Son calls but Monton moves all-in for his last 19,500. Garcia calls and Son folds.

Monton shows 9♥ 5♥ for a gutshot that gained a flush redraw while Garcia has A♣ Q♦ for top pair-top kicker. Garcia dodges all of his compatriot’s outs as the T♦ appears on the river.

The miss rails Monton as Garcia now has six-figures in chips.

A player from the +1 starts it off with a raise to 700 and gets called by Australia’s Hatim Abdul Hussein from the D. Ki Young Son of Korea 3-bets it from the SB for 3,600 as both his opponents make the call.

The flop comes Q♣ 4♥ 5♥ as Son continues firing for 2,600. The original raiser folds but Hussein raises it 6,000. Son calls. The turn is the K♣ as both slow down and check. The river is the 8♦ and they check anew.

Son flips over A♥ T♥ for a missed gut-shot straight and nut flush draw while the Australian shows Q♦ J♦ for top pair that avoided all of his opponent’s outs.
