Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

The mandatory ten-minute break is announced, two tables still had action as the first saw Czar Ian Marcos of the Philippines raising it from UTG to 21,000 which was met by a call from Sweden’s Henrik Lindahl in the HJ.

The flop goes 4♣ 4♠ 9♥ as Marcos CBets for 11,000 and gets raised by Lindahl to 42,000. Marcos calls. The turn is the 5♠ and this time, the Filipino decides to check. Lindahl then goes all-in and gets greeted with a snap call from Marcos.

Lindahl shows T♠ T♦ for an over pair to the board while Marcos tables 9♠ 9♣ for a full house on th flop.

The river card is the 7♥ as Marcos takes some of the luster away from Lindahl’s stack and moves closer to where he was before getting hit earlier.

The players are now on break. The double up of Marcos signifies that the Money Bubble is alive and well.

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.
