Okada Millions (8,000 PHP)

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 B: 171 entries / 21 ITM

Flight C: 263 entries / 31 ITM

Anyone that has gone up against the leader Anacleto Quijano has been denied and Jasper David was next. Quijano raised 13,000 from early position and David called from cutoff. They proceeded to check it to the turn 3♦ J♠ K♠ K♥ where Quijano bet 18,000 that David called. On the river 7♣ , Quijano's 26,000 was met with a raise of 80,000, Quijano assessed the board then called.

David was bluffing with Q♦ 9♦ , Quijano collected with 5♥ 5♠ .

Jasper David is dealt A♣ Q♦ at small blind and three-bets all in for 16,500. Action bounces back to the initial raiser Rafael Chan who has more chips and isn't going anywhere with his A♦ A♠ . With the board running 3♠ K♦ 8♥ 9♦ 9♣ , David is eliminated.

Jasper David was down to just 7000 but got a boost on a lucky runout. Shoving from hijack with K♣ J♣ , he got called by Bryant Wei with A♥ Q♥ . Wei was ahead and distanced further at the flop A♠ 2♠ 2♣ but with the turn J♦ and river J♥ , the win was stolen by trips for a double up to David.

Action folds around to the small blind Jasper David who has A♦ T♠, he raises 1500. Clark Pallaya defends on the big blind with K♦ 8♦ . When the board runs 3♣ 5♠ K♣ J♦ , Pallaya calls David's 2000 and 7000 bets, then on the river 8♠ , David shoves, Pallaya calls with less and says if he didn't hit the eight on the river he would have folded.
