Facing a 4,100-chip bet on a 
board with 8,500 already in the middle, Sweden's Douglas Olsson pushed a stack of yellow 5,000-denomination chips across the line, effectively putting his heads-up opponent all in for his last 13,150.
After a minute or two in the tank, he folded, allowing Olsson to push up close to 70,000 now.

Level: 6
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75
Another two levels are in the books here in Manila and the players are off on a 10-minute break.
The tournament clock currently claims 256 entries with 190 players remaining and as soon as the cards are back in the air, the late registration as well as re-entry period is over.
Sungil Choi bet the 
flop for 1,700 from under the gun and was called only by Junyeob Song in the big blind before the 
fell on the turn. Song's bet of 4,500 went uncalled and he scooped the pot. One hand later, four players saw a 
flop and the short stack in seat three moved all in for 11,000 chips to enforce folds all the way around.
It didn't take long for those chips to walk over to the other side of the table and right into Song's stack though.

No cards could help the player at risk anymore and he quickly left the tournament area, both the 
turn and the 
river were just a formality.
