Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

Greece’s Ioannis Athiniotis sees that he has the BB in the next and jumps in from UTG for his remaining 70,000. It gets folded to Jonathan Duque of the Philippines who makes the call from the D.

Athiniotis shows A♦ T♦ while Duque turns over a dominated A♣ 6♦ .

The runout priduces no booby traps for the Greek player: 4♦ 9♦ K♣ 7♣ 8♥ for yet another double up from just 11,000 in chips to six figures in a little over an orbit.

Filipino Czar Ian Marcos tangles with short stack Seitaro Aso of Japan who just happens to have A♣ A♦ against his 9♠ 8♠ .

Marcos almost got it done when the first four community cards went 7♥ 8♣ J♦ 9♥ to get two pairs, but the river brings in the J♠ to give the Japanese player a higher two pairs and an extended lease on his tournament life.

Right after that, ultra short stack Ioannis Athiniotis of Greece is all-in from the BB for a mere 11,000 with 7♣ 7♠ against Korea’s Sung Younghwan who has A♦ 9♦ .

Athiniotis is immediately granted more table time on the flop: 7♥ 8♣ J♦ and although the Greek’s set could still be trounced if a ren arrives, it did not as the 9♥ and the J♠ complete the runout.

Flight B still has 35 players remaining.
