Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

India’s Siddarth Mishra limps in from UTG and it folds to the D where Michael Cheng of the Philippines goes all-in for 80,000. It gets back to Mishra who makes the call. Cheng is now at risk.

Cheng shows A♣ J♣ while the Indian has 8♥ 8♠ .

The flop gives the Filipino more outs: 6♦ Q♥ T♠ as a gutshot looms to go with his two over cards. However, the 5♠ appears on the turn and does not help. But the river brings in the A♦ as Cheng climbs back into contention and depletes Mishra’s stack in the process.

Korea’s Kim Sangbum opens from the +2 position for 2,000 and gets greeted by a 3-bet shove from Michael Bueza of the Philippines from the SB for his last 10,700. Kim calls.

Bueza turns over 7♦ 7♥ while the Korean shows a superior pocket pair in 9♠ 9♦ .

The flop has Bueza drawing dead as it comes 7♣ 9♣ 9♥ as Kim flops quads versus the Filipino’s full house. The next two community cards are the J♦ and the 3♦ to make Bueza’s brutal ouster official.
