Fahad Alanazi Bags The Lead At Okada Millions Flight C

Level 19: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Fahad Alanazi

Big day at the PokerStars LIVE Okada Manila Millions flagship tournanemt, Okada Millions, with 263 storming in for the third entry flight. This boosted the prize pool past its PHP 5M guarantee, and with four more flights to complete, it is headed for a record breaker!

The bubble burst before the ninth hour with Junghyun Lee knocking out Gilson Chan on a flip. This determined the final 31 survivors advancing to the money round. Commanding the counts was the lone Saudi Arabian player in the field, Fahad Alanazi, with a massive 598,000 (59 bb) in chips. Alanazi was already the leader when he exploited the bubble round to send him surging well over half a mil.

Though not close but bagging a commendable second in chips was Singapore's Norbert Koh with 498,000 and local player Arnel Caquejo rounding out the top three with 352,000. Another qualifier was Warm Up champion Richard Marquez, though it cost him a second bullet. And Singapore's Ajay Abrol became the first double qualifier having also bagged at Flight B. Abrol amassed a larger stack today of 286,000 which means his other 92,000 stack will be removed from play at Day 2.

Among the fallen was two-time champion Jose Colada however he still has time to make the grade at the remaining flights.

The survivors have a day's rest before returning on April 13 for the final race to glory. They join the 45 qualifiers from the first two flights with Christian Lortie Cloutier still the player to catch with 700,000 in chips.

Lance De Vera Avoids The Rail

Level 12: 1,000 / 1,500 ante: 1,500

Lance De Vera gets dealt A♦ J♦ from under the gun and raises to 3500. He gets called by cutoff then small blind Richard Marquez three-bets 16,000 with Q♦ Q♠ in the hole. Back Vera, he shoves his last 17,500, cutoff folds while Marquez makes the easy call.

Seeing Marquez's hand, Vera needs help on the board. When the flop lands K♣ 9♣ J♥ , he is given hope with a pair but is still behind until the turn J♣ sends him ahead with trips. The river 0c seals the win with a full house to sit back down and arrange his bigger stack.
