On the first hand of the day, Cicurel Didier opened to 17,000 from under the gun and Neil Arce made the call. With the action on Kim Tae Hyung he moved all in for 167,000.

It was folded back round to Didier, who threw away his hand putting the action on the local Arce. Arce sat there for over 90 seconds before announcing, "Call" and the cards were tabled.

Hyung: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Arce: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

With the crowd on the edge of their seats with this being the first hand of the final table, the flop {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} would put Arce further in front. The {K-Diamonds} took a few outs away from the Korean, and when the {7-Diamonds} landed on the river Hyung headed to the rail in ninth place for a payday of $12,000.

Arce raked in the pot, sending him a few thousand short of 600,000 to the pleasure of the strong Filipino crowd.
