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

Anton Del Rosario won an all-in but had been forced all-in for the ante to receive as many chips back, then folded out of the small blind to be left with 15,000.

What followed was a raise to 55,000 by Valeriy Pak and Suya Lee jammed for 270,000. Czar Ian Marcos called out of the small blind and William Teoh jammed all-in over the top. Pak folded and Marcos sighed visibly, then folded pocket jacks face-up.

Suya Lee: A♥K♦
William Teoh: 10♣10♥

The pair remained ahead on the Q♦7♦4♦6♠7♠ runout and Teoh screamed out his joy before raking in the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The feature table brought a raise to 55,000 by Won Jae Lee with the K♥10♠ and Kok Weng Beh called with the Q♣9♦ in the big blind. On a J♠10♥9♠ flop, Beh check-called for just 35,000 and the 7♣ turn was checked. After the K♦ river, Beh had 550,000 behind and bet 120,000.

Lee pondered about it to then move all-in with his two pair and Beh called to double through the South Korean.

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.
