The final hand saw Paul Casilla risk his last 3 bb with 8♥ 7♠ that could not get by Liu's A♣ K♠ which further improved (though not needed) to quads kings on a board K♣ 3♥ J♥ K♦ K♥ .

Ruzzel Jose also advanced with a big stack part of which came from a very lucky two-outer with T♠ T♥ on a board 2♥ T♣ 2♣ 6♠ 7♦ to bust Soshi Yoshida's J♦ J♠ . He bagged up 357,000 (30 bb).

Other notables securing a spot in the money stage are Karen Talamayan, Ashley Patterson, and Tony Khoang. The survivors have a couple of night's rest as they await the results of the next two flights. They return on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 12pm where they will race to the first Okada Micro title.

Marlon Laxamana Boosted By Suited Connectors

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Marlon Laxamana

With action folding around to the button Yuki Miyakura who looks down at A♣ Q♥ and raises it up to 2400. Two spots over, big blind Marlon Laxamana likes his 9♠ 8♠ and shoves 21,200. Miyakura isn't going anywhere and can easily afford the price. The board then runs out K♥ T♥ 6♣ 7♠ Q♦ giving Laxamana the straight for a double up.

Jay Payuyo Survives The Flip

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

After failing to advance at Flight A, Maurillo Bulauitan jumped in Flight B for another shot at qualifying to the ITM round. Limping in from hijack, he then called small blind Jay Laurence Payuyo's three-bet shove of 12,200. When they revealed, it was a flip with Bulauitan needing to connect.
