Won Jae Lee Eliminated in 13th Place (PHP352,000/$6,360)
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Nicola Montalbano raised to 60,000 with the A♣Q♥ from under the gun and Won Jae Lee three-bet to 160,000 from the next seat. Edwin Dela Cruz then four-bet to 400,000 and the blinds as well as Montalbano folded.
Lee went into the tank for some four minutes to then call for more than one third of his stack.
The Q♣Q♠2♥ flop saw Lee check-call for 100,000 with 615,000 behind and that brought the 8♦ on the turn. Lee checked once more and Dela Cruz now bet 400,000, just staring blankly at the middle of the table behind his shades.
Lee tanked for three minutes to then check-call again, which led to the 4♦ river. The South Korean jammed for the rest of it, was snap-called.
Won Jae Lee: 5♥5♣
Edwin Dela Cruz: K♣K♥
Lee was trailing all the way and hit the rail in 13th place.

Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
William Teoh opened to 70,000 in the cutoff and David Erquiaga called in the big blind. The 8♣8♦4♣ flop was check-raised by Erquiaga from 105,000 to 250,000 and Teoh got sticky.
Both then checked down the 10♦ turn and the 10♥ river.
"Seven high, I missed everything," Erquiaga said with a grin on the face and only exposed the 7♠. He then also revealed the 3♠ and Teoh won the pot with the K♣K♥ for kings and tens.

Tor Welo: A♥J♣

Anthony Tacda Eliminated in 14th Place (PHP306,000/$5,529)
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Anthony Tacda raised it up to 70,000 and was three-bet to 230,000 by David Erquiaga in the big blind. The initial raiser glanced back at the tournament info screen and jammed for around 700,000, Erquiaga quickly called.
Anthony Tacda: J♥10♥
David Erquiaga: A♠10♠
When Tacda showed his cards, Erquiaga was almost shocked and let out a scream. As the local crowd gathered, both players held draws on the K♣Q♠6♠ flop. Nothing changed with the 6♣ turn and the 2♠ river improved the already superior hand of Erquiaga to a flush.
"I am here to win it," Tacda said and added "just look at all the short stacks." Instead of winning it, Tacda has to settle for 14th place.
