Anacleto Quijano Bulldozes Into Overall Lead

Level 18: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Anacleto Quijano

Flight E of Okada Millions drew the largest crowd yet of 310 entries with many of the past fallouts returning further boosted by an international contingent of Japanese, Koreans, and Europeans. Just under eight hours of play, Terry Gonzaga delivered the bubble, knocking out Chinese player Shi Shanbang and leaving the final 37 players to bag up. Gonzaga earned the sixth largest stack of the flight, and though commendable, it was a far distance from the leader Anacleto Quijano.

Quijano went on a tear during the seventh hour, railing multiple players and raking in pots in succession. One of his last pots was calling out Jasper David's bluff with three overcards to his small pocket pair. He bagged up a monstrous 853,000 stack to be the only player so far to overtake Flight A leader Christian Lortie Cloutier in the cumulative Day 2 counts.

Also making it through were Acharya Anant and Gary Guerrero, both players joining Ajay Abrol in bagging up multiple stacks.

The survivors have an overnight's rest and will return at 12pm tomorrow for the final race to the title. The prize pool is currently past PHP 10M setting a new record for this event. With registration still open for the final Flight G, we will have the official attendance and prize pool once they have been announced.

The cumulative entries at the end of this flight was 1168 with 139 players into the ITM round.

Flight A: 202 entries / 24 ITM

Flight B: 171 entries / 21 ITM

Flight C: 263 entries / 31 ITM

Flight D: 222 entries / 26 ITM

Flight E: 310 entries / 37 ITM

Level 17: 2,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Anacleto Quijano's bid for the biggest overall stack is headed in that direction having scored back to back pots to surpass the bar set by Flight A leader. On his second pick up he calls a raise of 12,000 at cutoff and big blind defends for a three way to the flop 3♦ 8♠ 5♦ .

Preflop raiser Charlie Bautista continues for 15,000, only Quijano calls to see the turn J♣ . Bautista barrels 50,000 and still Quijano is unfazed and calls. On the river A♦ , Bautista checks, Quijano bets 110,000 which well covers Bautista's 75,000 stack. Bautista risks and shows 5♠ 5♥ . Quijano isn't bluffing and shows Q♦ J♦ second pair to ship the huge pile of chips.

Anacleto Lito Quijano

Another player goes down at the hands of Anacleto Quijano. The casualty is Eldee Lim who opens 10,000 from cutoff and Quijano defends on the big blind. At the flop A♣ 8♥ 3♦ , Quijano check-calls another 10,000, then on the turn 6♠ , Quijano switches up and check-raises from 30,000 to pushing Lim.

With only 86,000 in total, Lim makes the call and shows 5♣ 5♠ set which is still behind Quijano's 7♣ 9♣ straight. The river J♣ doesn't pair improve Lim to lose all of his chips.

Final Three Flights To Okada Millions Starts At 12PM

The PokerStars LIVE Okada Manila Millions resumes today, Saturday, April 12 with the final three entry flights to the flagship Okada Millions under the spotlight. The event has already surpassed its initial offering of PHP 5 Million with a cumulative 858 across the first four flights. How high will the pot go? That figure will be determined sometime later tonight. Buy in is just PHP 8,000 (~US$ 140) with registration closing at the start of Level 11 for each flight.

Up first is Flight E which kicks off at 12pm with registration closing at approximately 4:30pm. Blinds escalate at a 25 minute pace. Based on the previous flights, this should run about 8.5 hours.

Flight F gets underway at 5pm with blinds increasing every 20 minutes. Players have until 8:40pm to sign up. If you miss that window or fall short at the other flights, then the last chance to secure a spot in the money round is via Flight G which gets rolling at 9pm with registration closing at 11:40pm. This is the fastest running flight with blinds rising every 15 minutes.

To start, all players will begin with 25,000 which is 250 times the opening 100-100 ante 100 blinds. If you start the day by the first buzzer, that means plenty of room to chip up and choose your spots. The player to catch is Flight A leader Christian Lortie Cloutier with 700,000 in chips.

Somuchpoker is onsite to track the action. Let us know some of you best hands and we will gladly post it in the updates.
