First Past The Pole
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Polish PokerStars Player Kamil Czarniecki finds himself at the top of the early leader board here in Manila thanks to a couple of ladies and a little bit of luck.
It appears Czarniecki flopped a set of queens with two hearts on the board and got it all in against one opponent holding 
. The turn brought a flush completing heart and Czarniecki looked all but done until the board paired on the river making him a full house.

Running Like A Champ
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Hong Kong's Kenneth Yuen Kiong Leong is running pretty good to start out here in Manila.
He already had more than double the starting stack when one short stack mercilessly shoved in for 4,650 over a standard opening raise. Leong was the only caller with 
and was almost a lock over the short stack's 
.
He collected his soul and stack after the 
run out.

Zak Attack
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Elan Zak has vaulted to the top of the early board thanks to a rather big hand.
He busted one opponent and got all but a few thousand from another in a massive set-over-set-over-set debacle.
All the money appeared to go in on the turn with the board reading 
. Zak held 
and his opponent's held 
and 
respectively. The river came the 
and since no one made quads, Zak scooped the huge pot and appears to be leading this event.

Im Proper
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
After a slow start it appears Team PokerStars Pro Vivian Im has righted the ship.
Facing a late position raise and a call, she bumped it up to 3,000 from the small blind. Only one player called and they went heads-up to the 
flop.
Im led out for 2,500 and after fiddling with his chips for a while, her opponent folded to give Im the pot.
