The Okada Millions resumes Day 2 at 1pm on Sunday, April 13, 2025. The prize pool has settled at PHP 11.1 Million (~US$ 196K) which set a new benchmark for this popular low-stakes event.

Short stacked John Calamiong shoves his last 6 bb wit K♣ 9♥ in the hole, Rolf Lopez calls and dominates with A♠ 9♣ . No bad beat nor scares show up on the board to bounce out Calamiong near the bubble.

Following a raise of 13,000 that's called by Rolf Lopez, button Alvin Sembrano three-bets all in for his remaining 49,000 and gets called only by Lopez.

Sembrano shows A♦ Q♥ , Lopez is behind with A♣ T♣ , the board runs 3♠ K♥ 7♦ 9♠ 8♣ to award Sembrano full reload.

Jeffrey Ballester shoves 43,000 with A♠ 8♥ and is at risk against caller Rolf Lopez with K♥ J♦ . Ballester is slightly ahead until the flop comes 3♣ J♠ 7♣ , for a pair. With the turn 3♦ and river Q♠ , that ends Ballester's run in this flight.

Following a raise of 6000 from under the gun, Rolf Lopez looks down at A♣ K♣ and three-bets all in 161,300. Vlad Ardeleanu joins with 60,500 behind and has A♦ K♦ , initial raiser folds.

With both players showing big slick, a split is likely until the board runs 2♣ 5♣ T♦ J♠ 7♣ giving Lopez the flush to boot Ardeleanu.

On a board showing 3♥ 8♠ 5♠ J♠ and 23,000 in the pot, big blind Rolf Lopez bets 12,000 and gets challenged with a 29,500 jam from Edilberto Gopez. Lopez tanks then lets go of his hand.
