Kim Enriquez Breaks Seven-Year Dry Streak to Claim Okada Manila Millions 2026 Title

Level 43: 1,000,000 / 2,500,000 ante: 2,500,000

Kim Enriquez

The record-breaking Okada Manila Millions 2026 at PokerStars LIVE has reached its conclusion. After a massive field of 2,387 entries more than doubled the initial guarantee, it was the Philippines' own Kim Enriquez who emerged victorious, navigating the final table to claim the trophy and a total prize of PHP 1,874,700.

For Enriquez, the victory marks a significant milestone in his career. While he has been a consistent presence on the Asian circuit, this win represents his first major title since before the pandemic. His last 1st-place finish came back in July 2019 at APT Ho Chi Minh, making this a long-awaited return to the winner's circle.

Enriquez defeated India’s Nikhil Gutta in a back-and-forth heads-up battle. Following an ICM deal made during three-handed play, the trio locked up the majority of the PHP 16,300,346 prize pool, leaving PHP 300,000, the trophy, and an APPT Championship Package for the winner.

The Okada Millions Final Table

Enriquez's Reaction to the Win

For Enriquez, the victory was about more than just the prize money; it was about breaking a cycle of close calls. "I’m overwhelmed and happy," Enriquez said after the win. "I've had so many second-place finishes lately, so I’m glad I finally clinched it. It's very special because my last championship win was way back before the pandemic. I’ve made so many final tables where I didn't get the win, but now at last, finally."

Enriquez credited his success to maintaining control of the table once he secured the lead. "As the chip leader, I was focused on controlling the table. I study how to play against different players when I have that advantage. Luckily, I also had some pocket aces that got paid off."

When the tournament reached the final three, Enriquez felt the timing was right to secure a deal. "Our stacks were almost even. By agreeing to the ICM, we still left 300k and the APPT seat to play for, so it felt worth it."

His immediate plans? "Relax for now, pay the bills, and save some for the bankroll," he laughed. "Then I’ll start preparing for the APPT in two months."

Final Table Action

The final table began with Joshua Figuerres holding the chip lead, but the action was fast from the start. On the very first hand, Kim Enriquez moved into the lead by taking a massive pot off Nikhil Gutta after rivering a full house with king-queen.

The eliminations followed quickly. Nichols Manalo was the first to exit in 9th place when his pocket sixes were outdrawn by Gutta’s ace-queen. Germany’s Dominik Doublon fell in 8th place, unable to catch up with ace-six against Gutta's ace-ten.

Joseph Sia was left with less than one big blind after losing a flip with ace-queen against Ko Tanaka's pocket tens. Sia was eliminated in 7th place shortly after by Sungmoon You. Kevin Mateo exited in 6th place when his ace-three ran into Gutta’s flopped set of fives, and Sungmoon You finally hit the rail in 5th place at the hands of Figuerres.

Sungmoon Yoo fell in fifth place

Royal Flush and The Deal

A massive three-way confrontation saw Gutta’s pocket aces hold against Tanaka’s pocket queens and Figuerres’ ace-queen. This sent Ko Tanaka home in 4th place and brought the remaining three players close in chips.

The trio agreed to an ICM deal before play resumed. Soon after, Gutta made the hand of a lifetime, fanning a Royal Flush with king-queen of diamonds to take a massive pot from Figuerres. Figuerres, once the dominant leader, was eventually eliminated in 3rd place when his ace-four fell to Gutta's pocket fours.

Heads-Up

Gutta started heads-up play with a 4-to-1 advantage, but the lead didn't last. Enriquez doubled up on the very first hand with ace deuce against pocket queens. The momentum swung fully toward Enriquez when he used an aggressive all-in check-raise to force a fold from Gutta on a king-high board.

Enriquez eventually found pocket kings at the perfect time to score a massive double-up, leaving Gutta with crumbs. The final hand saw Enriquez’s queen-seven hold against Gutta’s queen-four, ending a seven-year wait for a major trophy and crowning Kim Enriquez the champion.

Level 43: 1,000,000 / 2,500,000 ante: 2,500,000

Nikhil Gutta

The finale of the tournament arrived in a flash after a quick break, with a massive collision leaving the table in shock. Nikhil Gutta open-shoved for 28,800,000, and Kim Enriquez looked down at his cards and made the call for his remaining 28,200,000.

Kim Enriquez: K♠ K♦

Nikhil Gutta: A♣ 9♣

Enriquez woke up with a monster hand at the perfect time. He successfully dodged an Ace as the board ran out 8♠ 7♥ 7♠ 8♦ 7♣ , securing a massive double-up and leaving Gutta with just 600,000, a mere quarter of a big blind.

On the very next hand, Gutta was forced all-in for his remaining crumbs.

Nikhil Gutta: Q♦ 4♥

Kim Enriquez: Q♥ 7♥

Enriquez dominated Gutta once again, and the T♠ 7♣ 2♦ flop all but sealed the deal as Enriquez paired his seven. The J♣ on the turn officially secured the victory, and the 3♦ river was the final card of the tournament.

Nikhil Gutta finishes as the runner-up with his deal-guaranteed PHP 1,506,500.

A Dominated Hand Ends in a Split

Level 42: 1,000,000 / 2,000,000 ante: 2,000,000

Kim Enriquez

The intensity peaked as Nikhil Gutta moved all-in from the button, putting the pressure directly on Kim Enriquez. Enriquez peered at his cards and quickly committed his tournament life, finding himself in a prime position to potentially take over the match.

Kim Enriquez: A♦ T♥

Nikhil Gutta: A♥ 3♥

Enriquez was in great shape, dominating Gutta’s kicker and looking to secure a massive double-up. The flop came 8♦ 5♥ 5♠ , providing no immediate help to Gutta and keeping Enriquez’s ten-kicker firmly in the lead.

The 8♥ on the turn changed the dynamic entirely. While it paired the board and brought a potential chop closer, it also gifted Gutta a flush draw. Enriquez was now sweating ten outs to a loss, any heart or a three, while looking to fade the board pairing further.

However, the 7♠ on the river missed both players. With the board double-paired and an ace-high for both, the pot was split. Enriquez’s dominating kicker was neutralized by the board, resulting in a frustrating chop for the Filipino pro and a massive sigh of relief for Gutta.

Level 42: 1,000,000 / 2,000,000 ante: 2,000,000

Nikhil Gutta

On the very first hand of the new level, the chips went flying. Nikhil Gutta moved all-in for 19,900,000, and Kim Enriquez made the call, looking to end the tournament right then and there.

Nikhil Gutta: 7♦ 7♣

Kim Enriquez: A♥ 8♥

It was a flip for Gutta’s tournament life. The flop came 5♥ 5♣ 2♦ , keeping Gutta’s pocket sevens firmly in the lead. However, the J♥ on the turn added a flush draw to Enriquez’s overcard outs, creating a sweat for the river.

The J♠ landed on the river, missing all of Enriquez’s outs. Gutta secured a massive double-up, and in a complete reversal of the previous counts, he now holds a 2-to-1 chip advantage over Enriquez.

Kim Enriquez

The tides have turned once again in the heads-up battle. Nikhil Gutta, attempting to reassert his dominance, launched back-to-back three-bet bluffs to put the pressure on Kim Enriquez.

However, Enriquez stood his ground both times, forcing Gutta to surrender the pots after the flop. With those successful stands, Enriquez has extended his lead significantly and now holds more than 2-to-1 chip advantage over Gutta.

Enriquez Surges Into the Chip Lead

Level 40: 600,000 / 1,200,000 ante: 1,200,000

The momentum has officially shifted in this heads-up duel. Nikhil Gutta opened the action to 2,400,000, and Kim Enriquez defended his big blind.

The flop landed K♣ J♥ 3♦ , and Gutta continued his aggression with a bet of 2,000,000. Enriquez check-called to see the 8♦ on the turn. Gutta didn't slow down, firing a second bullet of 4,000,000.

However, Enriquez turned the tables, moving all-in with a massive check-raise. The pressure was too much for Gutta, who was forced to lay his hand down.

With that pot, Kim Enriquez has successfully completed the comeback and now holds the chip lead against Gutta.

Level 39: 500,000 / 1,000,000 ante: 1,000,000

Kim Enriquez

The heads-up battle started with fireworks on the very first hand. Nikhil Gutta opened the action to 2,000,000, and Kim Enriquez wasted no time, three-bet shoving all-in for 12,700,000. Gutta snap-called, and the cards were on the table for a potential championship-deciding moment.

Kim Enriquez: A♠ 2♠

Nikhil Gutta: Q♥ Q♣

Enriquez was at risk and desperately needed an ace to survive. He found exactly what he was looking for on the A♦ J♣ 3♣ flop, vaulting into the lead and leaving Gutta searching for one of the two remaining queens in the deck.

The 6♠ turn and 7♣ river offered no help to Gutta, allowing Enriquez to secure a massive double-up. With that win, Enriquez has effectively evened the playing field.

Level 39: 500,000 / 1,000,000 ante: 1,000,000

Joshua Figuerres and Nikhil Gutta

In a stunning turn of events, the man who dominated much of the final table, Joshua Figuerres, has been sent to the rail. Left with 7,100,000 after that historic Royal Flush encounter, Figuerres moved all in. Current chip leader Nikhil Gutta made the call, while Kim Enriquez got out of the way.

Joshua Figuerres: A♦ 4♠

Nikhil Gutta: 4♣ 4♥

While the cards were tabled, Figuerres confidently told Gutta, "You only have one out," predicting that an Ace would appear on the flop. His premonition partially came true as the dealer spread A♣ 8♣ 2♣ .

Figuerres hit his ace to take the lead, but his confidence quickly turned to concern as he realized Gutta was now sitting on a massive flush draw. In an almost eerie moment of self-prophecy, Figuerres predicted he would be drawing dead on the turn, and he was right. The Q♣ spiked on the turn, completing Gutta's flush and leaving Figuerres with no way to win the hand.

The 5♦ on the river was a mere formality. Joshua Figuerres, once the overwhelming chip leader, exits in 3rd place with his deal-guaranteed PHP 1,618,000.

Joshua Figuerres and Nikhil Gutta

In a hand that will be talked about for the rest of the tournament, Nikhil Gutta has taken a massive chip lead after revealing the rarest hand in poker to stun Joshua Figuerres.

Gutta opened to 2,000,000 and Figuerres defended his big blind. The flop landed A♦ T♦ 4♥ , and Gutta fired a continuation bet of 2,000,000. Figuerres turned up the heat with a check-raise to 4,000,000, and Gutta used one time bank before making the call.

The turn brought the J♦ , putting three diamonds on the board. Figuerres used another time bank before firing a massive 7,000,000 bet. Gutta stayed the course and called.

The river fell the Q♠ , completing several potential draws. Figuerres checked, and Gutta moved all-in. Figuerres burned through his final time bank before reluctantly folding. A♠ he raked in the pot, Gutta turned over K♦ Q♦, a rare Royal Flush!

Following the deal, Nikhil Gutta has immediately turned up the heat. Folded to him in the small blind, Gutta raised to 1,300,000. From the big blind, Kim Enriquez wasn't going to be bullied and fired back with a three-bet to 4,000,000.

The action returned to Gutta, who didn't hesitate to announce all-in. Faced with a bet for his tournament life, Enriquez snap-folded, allowing Gutta to rake in a significant pile of chips.

On the very next hand, Gutta kept the pressure on by open-shoving from the button. No one found a hand to call with, and Gutta continues to climb the leaderboard.

While Kim Enriquez briefly stole the chip lead after a string of consecutive wins, the momentum shifted back in a significant clash between the two. Enriquez limped from the small blind, and Joshua Figuerres raised to 1,600,000, which Enriquez called.

This time, Enriquez led out for a bet of 1,550,000. Figuerres tanked and made the call just before his clock ran out. Enriquez revealed 6♣ 6♥ for a middle pair, but Figuerres tabled Q♣ Q♠ for a higher pair. With this win, Figuerres once again takes over the chip lead.

Kevin Mateo Eliminated in 6th Place for PHP 500,000 (~USD 8,115)

Level 35: 200,000 / 400,000 ante: 400,000

Kevin Mateo

On the very first hand after the break, Kevin Mateo pushed all in for 3,025,000 and small blind Nikhil Gutta made the call.

Kevin Mateo: A♦ 3♥

Nikhil Gutta: 5♣ 5♠

Mateo was at risk and needed an ace. He successfully found one on the A♥ Q♥ 5♦ flop, but unfortunately for him, Gutta improved to a set of fives on the same street, leaving Mateo almost drawing dead. The K♣ turn secured the win for Gutta, and Mateo was eliminated in 6th place. The A♠ river completed the board as Gutta collected the rest of Mateo's chips.

Mateo Scoops Healthy Pot; Tanaka Rebounds Immediately

Level 34: 150,000 / 300,000 ante: 300,000

Kevin Mateo

With the board showing T♦ 8♦ 2♥ 3♦ T♥ and a pot of 3,000,000, big blind Ko Tanaka fired a bet of 950,000. Kevin Mateo didn't hesitate and snap-called.

Tanaka showed Q♦ J♥ for a missed straight draw bluff, while Mateo turned over T♣ 9♣ for rivered trips. Mateo scooped the healthy pot and continued to build his stack at the final table.

On the very next hand, the two clashed again. This time, Ko Tanaka got the better of the exchange, firing a big bet on the river that forced Mateo to fold and allowed Tanaka to quickly reclaim some lost ground.

Level 34: 150,000 / 300,000 ante: 300,000

Joseph Sia: K♦ 7♠

Sungmoon You: Q♠ Q♣

Sia was in bad shape, needing a king to survive. However, he failed to find any help on the 9♦ 5♠ 2♥ J♦ 6♣ runout. Joseph Sia was eliminated in 7th place, while Sungmoon You continued his climb at the final table.

Level 33: 125,000 / 250,000 ante: 250,000

Dominik Doublon

With just 1,100,000 left, Dominik Doublon pushed it all in. On the cutoff, fresh from a recent loss, Nikhil Gutta reshoved for 5,000,000, and no other player made the call.

Dominik Doublon: A♣ 6♥

Nikhil Gutta: A♦ T♣

Gutta had Doublon dominated and even hit top pair on the T♠ 9♦ 8♣ flop. However, Doublon still had gutshot draw outs to stay alive. The Q♦ turn gave Doublon a chance to split the pot, but the Q♥ river sealed the win for Gutta.

Doublon was eliminated in 8th place, while Gutta successfully added more chips to his stack.

When the J♠ completed the board, Figuerres fired his final bullet, shoving all-in. The bet was more than enough to get the job done, as Gutta snap-folded, allowing Figuerres to scoop a sizable pot without a showdown.
