Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

Hernan Villa of the Philippines swings for the fences as it is folded to him on the CO for his remaining 20,000 as Korea’s Jeong Seonghun also shoves his last 33,000 when it gets to him on the SB. However, waiting in the BB is another Filipino in Jason Nocon who decides to call. Nocon covers both.

Villa tables 7♣ 7♦ while Jeong shows A♦ J♠ . Nocon turns over A♣ K♦ .

Nocon immediately becomes the favorite on the flop: K♠ 9♥ K♥ . Villa needs to hit a two-outer while Jeong needs running cards to stay alive. Both go drawing dead on the turn as the A♠ appears to complete a full house for Nocon. The 2♣ on the river solidifies matters as Villa and Jeong are officially out of the tournament and Nocon now has six-figures in chips.
