Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The all-in showdowns keep coming at a very consistent pace and the same also applies for the casualties, too.

Latest victim of the hot run of Henrik Tollefsen was Bryan Khoo, who saw his pocket queens dominated by the K♠K♥ of the Norwegian. Khoo had more outs on the J♥10♣9♣ flop but bricked the 9♦ turn and 6♠ river.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ruderico Cruz had survived a previous all-in showdown against Sriharsha Doddapaneni, who then won a lot of chips thereafter.

Cruz got it in after a A♦9♥6♥3♦ turn against Doddapaneni and sighed when his A♠2♠ was on very thin ice. Doddapaneni had turned two pair with the A♣3♣ and the 5♠ river avoided a split pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Richard Tolentino raked in even more chips when he sent Chris Chen Yu to the rail. His A♦K♣ prevailed versus K♦J♣ thanks to a board of 8♠4♠2♠10♠5♦ board as neither player had a spade in the hand.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tor Welo raised to 13,000 and then called the preflop shove by Wai Loon Ng for what appeared to be around 23 big blinds-

Wai Loon Ng: A♣Q♦
Tor Welo: 10♥10♣

An ace came on the A♦10♠9♦ flop yet Ng needed running cards. It was all over with the 7♠ turn to make the 6♦ river a formality.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Wooseok Kim was heading to the payout desk while his chips were pushed to table neighbour Henrik Tollefsen.

According to the Norwegian, Kim pushed for 9.5 big blinds with king-jack and was called by Tollefsen with the A♠10♠.

A jack appeared for Kim on the J♦7♣2♦ flop but the 9♠ turn and 8♠ river improved the Norwegian to a straight.

Ronn Mesina and Rasid Paitao were eliminated while Ruderico Cruz avoided the same fate, which he celebrated quite loudly.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a heads-up turn of 8♦3♥2♥Q♦, Dinh Manh Hung checked and subsequently check-raised from 9,000 to 30,000 gainst Czar Ian Marcos. The latter folded and Hung claimed the pot.

One hand later, Ginbert de Villa jammed for 72,000 and Hung flat-called on the button.

Ginbert de Villa: A♦K♦
Dinh Manh Hung: A♥J♥

Hung improved on the J♦10♠6♠ flop after which de Villa stood up from his chair to film the final outcome with his smart phone. Nothing changed with the 10♥ turn and 7♦ river, ending his run.

Hao Lin and Richard Sheils were also spotted on the payout desk as well as the Day 2 field dropped below 70 hopefuls.

Benigno Ledina never recovered from the cruel setback just a few minutes ago and bowed out as well.

The next all-in showdown took place over on table four when Richard Tolentino was all-in for 106,000 against Wooseok Kim.

Richard Tolentino: A♥J♦
Wooseok Kim: K♥K♦

The kings were cracked once more on a board of 9♣6♦4♣7♠A♦ as Tolentino jumped out of his seat in celebration.
