Warm-up (5,000 PHP)

The break commenced, one table had an all-in and a call as short stack Siddarth Mishra of India had apparently open shoved from UTG for his last 16,000 and the burden of whether to call or not fell upon Filipino Raymundo Gomez in the SB.

The runout is 8♣ 6♣ Q♠ 2♦ 5♣ as the Indian stays alive as now all 35 remaining players are officially on break.

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.
