Level 32: 100,000 / 200,000 ante: 200,000

Gleb Ershov

There was a pot of around 1,300,000 in the middle with a flop that showed 6♣ 4♦ 3♦

Marvin Cerbito checked his option to Gleb Ershov, who put in a bet of 250,000.

Cerbito then raised it to 600,000.

Ershov declared "All in" and instantly Cerbito answered, "Call!"

Gleb Ershov: 6♠ 5♦

Marvin Cerbito: J♦ J♠

Ershov paired his six and had an open-ended straight draw. However, he was behind the pocket jacks of Cerbito.

The 3♣ turn didn't change the situation and the 8♠ river sealed the deal, eliminating Ershov and crowning Cerbito as the main event champion.

Christopher Mateo

Christopher Mateo and Marvin Cerbito had built a pot of 4,700,000 and were looking at a flop of 2♠ 9♣ Q♣

Cerbito was the first to act and moved all in, covering the remaining stack of Mateo. Mateo made the snap call, risking his last 1,100,000.

Christopher Mateo: K♦ K♣

Marvin Cerbito: A♠ Q♠

Mateo was ahead and just had to avoid the five outs of Cerbito left on the deck.

The 6♥ on the turn still maintained Mateo's lead. And then, the poker gods honored Greenstein and gave a A♣ on the river to the shock of Mateo and his loud rail.

Meanwhile, Cerbito celebrated and honored Mateo with a fist bump before letting him leave the final table.

Jean Paul Berdejo: A♠ J♦

Gleb Ershov: A♥ Q♥

The flop came J♠ 6♣ Q♦ giving both a pair, but Ershov still with a lead. The turn came T♠ and didn't change much.

Berdejo still needed two jacks in the deck to win the pot or any of the four kings to split the pot with a straight.

The poker gods threw in a J♣ on the river, giving Berdejo trips much to his jubilation, while Ershov shook his head in disappointment.

The turn came Q♣, completing the flush of Wye and leaving Ershov drawing dead. The T♠ on the river was a formality and even if gave Ershov trips, it still wasn't good enough to beat Wye's flush.

Cerbito needed a miracle to avoid losing the majority of his stack, and whilst the 8♣ Q♠ 9♣ flop kept Penderak ahead, Cerbito had plenty of outs.

Mateo Building Up And The Fall of Ang

Level 23: 10,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Christopher Mateo

When we arrived at the table, there was a pot of around 350,000 beside a board that showed 9♦ 7♦ 4♣ 5♠ 6♦

Rogelio Villarin was on the big blind and was against Christopher Mateo on the button.

Villarin acted first and fired 200,000. Mateo raised it to 550,000 and Villarin did not continue.

Villarin was left crippled with 340,000 chips remaining while Mateo improved to around 1.4 million.

In the following hand, action folded to Villarin on the small blind who shoved all in for his last 340,000 and was snap called by Kai Loon Ang on the big blind.

Rogelio Villarin: A♠ Q♠

Kai Loon ang: A♦ J♦

The board ran 5♣ 6♦ 7♥ 2♥ 7♣ to give Villarin a double up while leaving Ang with just 55,000 chips.

Following that action, on the next hand, Christopher Mateo raised from early position to 50,000. Ang then pushed his last 55,000 forward from the small blind. Anacleto Quijano matched on the big blind and Mateo completed.

The flop came K♦ A♥ A♣

Quijano checked, then folded when Mateo pushed a bet of 50,000.

With Ang and Mateo left to battle, the cards were put on their backs.

Kai Loon Ang: 9♠ 9♦

Christopher Mateo: K♠ T♣

Mateo was ahead with two pair aces and kings, and held on with the runout of 5♠ 7♦ to eliminate Ang from the tournament and boost his stack.

Action folded to defending Main Event champion Edilberto Gopez on the small blind, who open-shoved his last 318,000. Renniel Galvez - friends with Gopez - couldn't help but make the call.

Edilberto Gopez: A♠ 4♣

Renniel Galvez: K♥ K♣

Both players gave each other fist bumps as their cards were laid out in the middle.

The flop showed 8♥ 5♣ 3♠ which kept Galvez ahead, but added a gutshot straight draw for Gopez.

The flop T♣ didn't change anything, then the river K♠ gave Galvez a set, putting a defining stomp to the elimination of Gopez.

The three players were thrown a flop of 2♠ 7♥ 9♠

Fedyk tapped his option to Naito, who continued with a bet of 90,000. Ershov folded and Fedyk placed the chips to see a 7♠ on the turn.

Ershov was ahead and looked poised to knock out Zaitsu.

Everything was going to plan on the board of 4♦ 3♦ 7♥ 4♣

However, the poker gods threw a 9♦ on the river to give Zaitsu one of his two outs to survive and double up while putting some pain on Ershov's stack.

A K♣ on the turn gave Kim some hope, but he already tapped the table "nice hand", knowing a miracle on the river was impossible. True enough, the 5♠ was no help and Kim bowed out.

Other players who also recently fell include Sung Choun Joo, Li Lok Ching, Nontapat Wattana, Chase Cokaliong, Manuel Geronimo, Thomas Lee, Joris Michl, Walken Li, Richard Marquez, Benjamin Ebarle, Yongsung Choi, Katsunori Nakamura and Denis Klimov.

Magbutay's Nut Straight Doubles

Level 18: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Riener Magbutay

Kunwoo Kim was on the lowjack going against Riener Magbutay on the hijack. Both players were looking at a pot of around 120,000 beside a complete board of J♣ 9♣ 8♣ 5♠ T♠

Kim was the first to act and fired a bet of 80,000.

Magbutay laid out his time bank cards, spent one, then declared "all in".

Kim threw in a chip even before the chips were counted.

Magbutay peeled open K♥ Q♦ for a nine-to-king straight, while Kim showed A♥ Q♣ for a eight-to-queen straight.

Magbutay held the nuts, scooped the pot and doubled up his remaining 236,000 chips.

Minwoong Puts The Squeeze On Rosete

Level 17: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Maxwell Rosete and Jeong Minwoong

Jeong Minwoong opened for 12,000 from under the gun. Nicola Montalbano called from the next seat. Geir Sommerset also chimed in right after. Then, Maxwell Rosete also made the call from his big blind.

The four players were shown a flop of 7♥ 9♥ 9♠

Rosete checked his option and Minwoong continued with a bet of 25,000. Montalbano and Sommerset folded. Action fell back to Rosete, who raised to 65,000.

Minwoong answered back with a re-raise to 150,000. Rosete made the call to open a 4♠ on the turn.

Rosete tapped his option and Minwoong moved all in, risking his last 280,000.

Rosete threw his time bank cards on the table for the dealer to pick off while he went into the tank to think about his options. Rosete stared to the sky for answers, took a peek at his cards, counted off the chips, wondered if unicorns really did exist, then eventually mucked his hand, surrendering the massive pot to Minwoong, then tapped the table "nice hand."

John Matsuda

Geir Sommerset opened for 12,000. Tetsuya Tsujisaka made the call from the next seat. John Matsuda then three-bet to 48,000.

Sommerset folded, but Tsujisaka stayed on.

The flop came Q♥ J♣ J♠

Tsujisaka shoved all in for his last 80,000 chips.

Matsuda called. When the cards were shown.

Tetsuya Tsujisaka: 8♥ 8♦

John Matsuda: A♦ Q♠

The turn and river didn't improve Tsujisaka, sending him to the rail, while Matsuda scooped to boost his stack.

Manila Megastack Day 2: PHP 33M Prize Pool, One Champion Awaits

Level 17: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Day 2 of the Manila Megastack 24 Main Event takes place today at the world-class Okada Manila. After three days and four starting flights, the tournament has drawn a massive 848 entries, smashing the initial guarantee.

With a buy-in of PHP 45,000 (~USD 770) and a PHP 20,000,000 (~USD 342,000) guarantee, the prize pool climbed to an impressive PHP 33,313,680 (~USD 578,670).

Only 127 players remain in contention and will return today to chase the biggest share of the prize pool, along with the PHP 5,750,000 (~USD 99,880) top prize.

In addition to the cash prize, several APPT packages will be awarded. The champion will receive an APPT Championship Package valued at PHP 210,000, which will be deducted from the prize pool. The 2nd and 3rd finishers will each receive an APPT Manila 2026 Package worth PHP 150,000, also deducted from the prize pool. Meanwhile, players finishing 4th to 9th will each earn an APPT Manila 2026 Super Qualifier Seat valued at PHP 9,000.

Ziqiang Shi - Main Event Day 2 Chip Leader

Leading the returning field is Ziqiang Shi with 753,000 (126 big blinds). Shi topped the Day 1C flight, which drew the largest turnout of the tournament with 316 entries.

The remaining field features a strong mix of local regulars and international players. Among them is defending champion Edilberto Gopez, who captured the Manila Megastack 23 Main Event title last year after a dominant run. Gopez also finished as the Day 1A chip leader and returns today with 438,000 chips.

Also in the hunt is Justin Ong, who enjoyed a standout performance at APPT Manila 2025, winning both the Main Event and the PokerStars Red Dragon. Ong brings 317,000 into Day 2.

Another notable contender is Minwoong Jeong, winner of the APPT Championship 2025, who bagged 401,000. Meanwhile, Leo Kamiya, who secured back-to-back APPT Open titles at APPT Manila 2025 and APPT Championship 2025, is also among the remaining players.

Other notable survivors include Maxwell Rosete (619,000), Robert Sherwood (394,000), John Matsuda (324,000), Moses Saquing (296,000), Tom Verbruggen (222,000), Joris Michl (208,000), and Vamerdino Magsakay (120,000).
