Valero Vanquished

Roberto Vincent Valero - 17th place
Roberto Vincent Valero - 17th place

Kim Gap Young opened to 15,000 from under the gun only to have Roberto Vincent Valero move all in for 65,500 next to speak.

Young hesitated slightly before making the call to put the Filipino at risk.

Young: {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Valero: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The {Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop put Young in the lead, and when the {10-Hearts} landed on the turn, it left Valero drawing to an ace or jack to stay alive.

Unfortunately for one of the last remaining locals, the {8-Hearts} on the river would send him to the rail in 17th place for a PHP 215,000 payday.

Bloom Bombs Out

Max Bloom - 18th place
Max Bloom - 18th place

Max Bloom opened for a min-raise of 12,000 from the button only to have Ivan Tan move all in from the big blind.

Bloom made the call tabling his {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to be trailing Tan's {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}.

The flop of {7-Clubs}{A-Spades}{7-Hearts} virtually left Bloom drawing dead - apart from running sevens - and when the {Q-Hearts} and {2-Clubs} on the turn and river fell, Bloom was forced to exit in 18th place as Tan soars to 320,000 in chips.

Bloom Slips, Im Soars

On a flop of {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} Young-shin Im led out for 14,000 from the small blind before Max Bloom made it 41,500 to go from the big.

Im contemplated for a moment before making it 75,000 straight, only to have Bloom respond with an all in for roughly 250,000. Im instantly made the call for her remaining 207,500.

Bloom: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Im: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The turn and river landed the {6-Clubs} and {7-Spades} to see Im soar to over 550,000 as Bloom was left as the short stack with 50,000 in chips.

De Weerdt Dusted

Caroline De Weerdt - 21st place
Caroline De Weerdt - 21st place

Kim Gap Young opened to 14,000 from the hijack with Caroline De Weerdt making the call from the button.

Young fired out 21,000 on the {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} flop with De Weerdt making the call as the {K-Spades} rolled off on the turn. Young continued for 26,000 only to have De Weerdt move all in for roughly 150,000. Young instantly made the call to put one of the last females at risk.

De Weerdt: {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Young: {J-Spades}{4-Spades}

With De Weerdt needing a spade to stay alive, the {9-Diamonds} landed on the river to end her tournament in 21st place as Young rockets to 660,000 in chips.

Lobzhanidze Legged

Andrey Alexandrovich Lobzhanidze - 22nd place
Andrey Alexandrovich Lobzhanidze - 22nd place

Raymond Lapitan opened to 16,000 from under the gun only to have Andrey Alexandrovich Lobzhanidze move all in for 47,000 from the cutoff.

"You're ahead!" announced Lapitan as he made the call.

Lapitan: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Lobzhanidze: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop gave Lobzhanidze hearts along with a king and queen to fade, and when the {Q-Diamonds} landed on the turn it left him drawing to just two aces in the deck.

Unfortunately for Lobzhanidze, the {10-Hearts} landed on the river to end his tournament in 22nd place for a PHP 172,000 payday as Lapitan climbs to 220,000 in chips.
