Vincent Wong reraised to 6,000 only for Philip Reyes to then push all-un for 14,300. The initial raiser folded and Wong asked for the exact count, then called after around 30 seconds of consideration.
Philip Reyes: A♣A♦
Vincent Wong: Q♦J♦
When the cards were tabled, Wong immediately sighed but sprung into action on the 10♦7♦6♠ flop. "Diamonds one time," he demanded. The 10♣ turn was a blank but the 8♦ river indeed provided the flush.
Jonathan Looi bet the 7♦6♣5♦J♠ turn for 5,100 out of the small blind and then made it 11,500 to go on the 3♦ river. Hsun Liu called the first bet and folded thereafter.
Liu then three-bet against Sriharsha Doddapaneni and they got it in after a Q♦8♦6♣ flop.
Hsun Liu: A♥A♣
Sriharsha Doddapaneni: Q♥10♥
The 2♥ turn and 4♣ river saw Liu double for 21,300 and Doddapaneni was left with around 4,000. He lost those and re-entered right away.
Level: 5
Blinds: 300/500
Ante: 500
Jonathan Kher was all-in for fumes with the 9♦7♦ and Hernan Villa had an easy call with the J♥J♣. On the A♠10♣3♣ flop, Kher already gathered all his belongings and was on the way out, left drawing dead on the 4♣ turn to make the 2♣ river a formality.
Marcuss Liow was more fortunate in his last showdown when he had just a few big blinds left over. The Q♠9♠ held up versus 10♥7♥ on a board of J♠9♥7♦K♣3♣ but the Singaporean remains in the danger zone.
On the tail end of a heads-up pot in the secondary tournament area, the board showed Q♦10♦5♥3♣5♠. The big blind bet 2,400 and Lorelyn Estacion called by tossing in a single T-5,000 chip. Her opponent showed the Q♣8♦ for queens up and that won the pot.
Estacion dropped to fewer than half the starting stack once more on a table that now also includes Super High Roller runner-up Gary Thompson, who has already built a healthy profit.
On a flop of 2♠2♣2♥, Po Hsiun Liao raised a bet of Noel Araniel from 1,800 to 3,600 and Araniel called, barely glancing up from his smart phone. The 6♦ fell on the turn and Araniel check-raised from 4,000 to 17,000, again just focusing on the phone.
Liao then moved all-in for 29,300 and Araniel sent the cards into the muck.
In an already large pot to the 510d8d2c9s] turn, Cezar Quiambao checked out of the blinds and Ricardo Torres checked it back with some 18,000 in the middle. Quiambao then bet the 2♦ river for 16,500 with fewer than that behind.
Once Torres reluctantly called, Quiambao sent his cards into the muck to forfeit the pot.
Chip leader on the table is Moses Saquing with nearly four times the starting stack.
In a hand that took place just before the break, Noel Araniel was all-in and at risk for 29,200. The local player flipped for his tournament life in the following showdown.
Noel Araniel: A♥K♥
Opponent: J♥J♠
The A♠3♠2♦2♣2♠ board gave Araniel the superior full house and he jumped to two times the starting stack.
Level: 4
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 400
