Basilios Diakokomninos Eliminated in 6th Place (PHP 1,025,000)

Basilios Diakokomninos - 6th place
Basilios Diakokomninos - 6th place

With Basilios Diakokomninos in the cutoff, he moved his last 113,000 into the pot and found an insta-call from Kim Gap Young on the button.

Diakokomninos: {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Young: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

With Diakokomninos dominated, the {7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} would provide him with some backdoor draws to go along with his live eight.

The {J-Spades} on the turn saw Diakokomninos catch one of his runner-runner outs, only to see the {J-Hearts} on the river end his chance of staying alive.

As Young collected the pot to move to 1,950,000, Diakokomninos exited in 6th place for a PHP 1,025,000 payday.

Michael Crushes Sevens!

Kim Gap Young moved all in from the small blind and Fabiano Michael instantly made the call for his last 313,000 from the big blind.

Young: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Michael: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} flop ended the hand with Michael making an unbeatable set of quads.

As he hi-fived his railbirds, Michael saw the {4-Spades} and {9-Spades} land on the turn and river to see Michael climb to 638,000 while Young slips to 1,800,000 in chips.

"Good flop! No sweat!" uttered Michael's good friend and railbird Van Marcus.

Korean vs Korean Round 2: Kim Over Two Million!

Kim Gap Young opened under the gun to 37,000 and Young-shin Im made the call to see a {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop fall.

Im led out for 42,000 only to have Young bump it to 142,000.

Im took her time before folding as she slipped to 1,260,000 while Young became the first player to climb over the two million mark; now sitting with 2,100,000 and change.

Fabiano Michael opened to 52,000 from the small blind to force Daren Yoon to kick his cards into the muck from the big.

The following hand, Michael made it 49,000 from the button to pick up the blinds and antes.

On the third hand in succession, Michael made it 48,000 from the cutoff only to encounter a three-bet to 136,000 from the big blind by Young-shin Im.

Spending nearly three minutes in the tank, Michael eventually folded in anguish as he slipped to 330,000 in chips.

Rosen, Im Chop Battle of the Blinds

Mikael Rosen opened the small blind to 40,000 and Young-shin Im defended her big blind.

The flop of {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} was checked through to see the {5-Diamonds} land on the turn and Rosen fire out 56,000 with Im making the call.

The river of the {7-Diamonds} saw Rosen lead for 71,000 and after a few moments of deliberation, Im made the call.

Rosen tabled his {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}, and Im her {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} to see the pot chopped up.

Jukka Juvonen Eliminated in 7th Place (PHP 805,000)

Jukka Juvonen - 7th place
Jukka Juvonen - 7th place

Young-shin Im opened to 38,000 under the gun, only to have Jukka Juvonen three-bet to 100,000 from the hijack.

Tanking for a few moments, Im smooth-called to see a {2-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop fall before checking to Juvonen who opted to fire 100,000.

Im responded with a check-raise to 225,000, and once Juvonen moved all in for roughly 330,000, Im made the call.

Juvonen: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Im: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

With Im holding a huge lead in the hand, Juvonen would need plenty of help to remain alive in the tournament.

Unfortunately the {K-Spades} on the turn wouldn't be what Juvonen was looking for, and when the {8-Clubs} landed on the river, he was forced to exit in 7th place for a PHP 805,000 payday as Im soars to 1,250,000 in chips.

"I want to be come from Korea!" added Daren Yoon in reference to the way the Koreans - Kim Gap Young and Im - are destroying today's final table.

Michael Folds Ace

With the action folding to Kim Gap Young in the small blind, he moved all in for close to two million to put Fabiano Michael at risk for his last quarter million.

Michael tanked for nearly two minutes before flashing his {A-Diamonds} and folding.

As Young collected the pot, he flashed his {A-Hearts} to prove that he wasn't bluffing!
