Kevin Clemot raised to 32,000 and was called by Cher Whey Cheng out of the big blind. Both players checked the 9♦6♦6♠ flop and that brought them to the J♣ turn. Cheng check-shoved into a bet of 60,000 by Clemot, who asked for a count.
The all-in was for another 113,000 on top and Clemot called.
Cher Whey Cheng: 8♣7♦
Kevin Clemot: K♥J♠
The 9♣ river paired the board and sent Cheng on his way to the payout desk.

Lok Ching Li and Yu Chen were among the latest casualties as the field plummeted to just 64 contenders. Another table will break as the field is now down to eight of them. All players with chips at their disposal have locked up PHP184,000 and a pay jump awaits with 55 left.

Tetsuro Tomita moved all-in for 68,000 in the cutoff and Kenny Shih called on the button.
Tetsuro Tomita: A♦2♦
Kenny Shih: K♠Q♥
Tomita was happy to be ahead while Shih grinned and suggested "straight, maybe?"
The K♦Q♠10♥ flop gave Shih two pair and joked "no straight, abort ... abort". Nothing changed with the 5♣ turn and 7♣ river to knock out Tomita as both players shook hands.
Day 1a chip leader Oleg Kaminski followed alongside Jeoffrey Sibal.

John Tech arrived and looked up a short stack all-in by Vivencio Nachor Jr with the Q♦10♣. His fellow countryman was ahead with the A♥6♠ and that stayed this way on the K♦8♦3♣8♥8♠ runout.
Chulwoo Park was not as fortunate in his final hand and headed to the payout desk.

Ngoc Anh Cao had previously lost most of his stack and was sent to the payout desk soon after. The table never got to see his cards as Lloyd Locsin and Yuanning Wu shared the same straight in showdown.
Man Lok Chan then jammed for 269,000 in the next hand and found no callers.

One of the most classic setups unfolded over on table six when Joseph Talamayan clashed with Ivan Tabucal, and the latter was the player at risk for 360,000.
Ivan Tabucal: A♥A♣
Joseph Talamayan: K♠K♦
There was no upset on the J♠4♦3♣4♠Q♥ board and Tabucal celebrated vividly, almost as if he had just won the tournament.
