Anton Del Rosario defended the big blind against William Teoh and then jammed the A♠A♥6♣ flop for 75,000. Teoh pondered about the move for a short while and folded.

On the other outer table, Edwin Dela Cruz check-called a bet by Tor Welo on the K♥9♣3♦ flop, which led them to the J♠ turn. Dela Cruz checked again, Welo bet around 150,000 and took it down.

Emmanuel Segismundo raised to 55,000 with the A♣10♥ and Won Jae Lee called with the 8♠7♠ in the hijack. Segismundo bet the J♦9♣7♣ flop for 30,000 and the 9♦ turn for 155,000, both of which Lee called.

After the 6♣ river, Segismundo checked and folded to a shove by Lee.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Over on the feature table, one of the short stacks was all-in and at risk. Emmanuel Segismundo pushed for 320,000 and David Erquiaga looked him up out of the small blind with a reshove to isolate.

Emmanuel Segismundo: A♥9♠
David Erquiaga: J♦J♣

The ace gained some equity until the 5♦5♠2♥4♥ turn but the Q♦ river was a blank, sending Segismundo to the payout desk in 20th place.

The feature table brought yet another all-in and call, this time it was Malaysia's Wee Shen Tay who got it in for 230,000 and Alessandro Taranto looked him up.

Wee Shen Tay: 9♥9♣
Alessandro Taranto: A♥K♥

The pair remained ahead on the 10♦5♠3♦ flop but the A♦ turn improved Taranto, who held onto the lead on the J♠ river.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On the outer table, Henrik Tollefsen raised it up and fellow countryman Tor Welo called out of the big blind. Welo check-raised the 10♣9♠7♣ flop small and instantly called the shove by Tollefsen.

Henrik Tollefsen: A♣A♦
Tor Welo: 8♦6♠

The flopped straight of Welo had Tollefsen on very thin ice, and he failed to get there with the Q♣ turn and Q♠ river to become the 17th place finisher.
