Yeh made the call, only to muck at the sight of Yoon's as he climbed to 120,000 while Yeh slipped to 71,000 in chips.
As we strolled around the tournament floor everyone could hear the generators out the back kicking into a few extra gears.
As they kicked, the lights in the room would blink on and off until they eventually died - along with all the power.
For about two minutes we were stranded in total darkness, but after some quick thinking by the APPT and Shangri-La Mactan Spa & Resort staff, the lights and power were thankfully restored.
