Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Chris Morrison raised to 2,500 from under the gun and Tom Or-Paz moved all in for his last 6,500. Kok Hou Toh called from the big blind, as did Morrison. The two remaining active players checked the 
flop and Toh's bet of 8,000 on the 
turn forced a quick fold from Morrison.
Tom Or-Paz: 
Kok Hou Toh: 
"That's it, drawing dead," Or-Paz said and stood up from his chair already while the meaningless 
appeared on the river.
Or-Paz busted a few minutes before the end of the level while Antti Halme just walked in with a ticket in the hand, registering at almost the last minute for some late fun.

Stephen Nathan got his last 12,000 in with the

. "Yes, re-entry, I already have three," Nathan joked and the board came 
. On his way out, Nathan met Yo Seb Rhee who busted from a different table at the same time.

After a raise to 2,100, Geoff Mooney got his last 12,600 in from the button. The initial raiser reluctantly called and tabled 
, while Mooney was well ahead with the 
.
The 
flop was followed by the

With level nine having kicked off, the last level to register and re-enter for Day 1b got underway. New entries until the final break receive 30 big blinds and there are currently 83 players out of a 174-entry strong field remaining, as more than half of the contenders already joined the rail.
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
We arrived at Tom Or-Paz’s table just in time to see the Israeli player play a big pot against Anthony Gabitan with all the chips finding their way into the middle pre-flop.
There was already around 5,000 in dead money in the pot and Or-Paz had Gabitan covered.
Tom Or-Paz: 
Anthony Gabitan: 
The board ran out 
to grant Gabitan the double.
“Nice hand man,’ said Or-Paz as Gabitan raked in the pot, “I always lose my pre-flop all-ins.”
“I’ll try and get it in against you more often then,” joked Gabitan as he stacked up to 43,000, while Or-Paz dropped down to 35,500.

"There are plenty of chips at this table, huh," Badri Kedar Gosavi said.
Michael Falcon then raised to 1,600 and Changjo Im called, as did Seung Soo Jeon in the big blind. The flop fell 
and Jeon checked, Falcon bet 2,600 and Im was the only caller. After the 
turn, Falcon's bet of 5,000 was raised to 20,000 by Im and Falcon called quickly before both checked the river.
Falcon flashed 
for a full house and Im mucked 
for a straight.
Gosavi raised to 2,000 the next hand and picked up two callers, Im was one of them. The 
flop and turn brought no betting action and Gosavi's bet of 3,000 on the river won the pot.
One table over, the tail end of a big pot between Kunal Patni and Celine Lee showed a board of 
. Lee bet 25,000, covering the 23,000 of Patni, and the latter reluctantly folded after having invested almost half of his stack.
"Good fold, full house," Lee said with a big smile and Patni replied "I would believe it if you show it."

Manila Megastack 7 champion Po-Yi Wu opened the action with a raise from mid-position and Jun Yi Ong moved all-in from the small blind. Wu made a speedy call and the cards were turned over.
Po-Yi Wu:
Jun Yi Ong:
Wu had Ong covered and the best pre-flop hand. Unfortunately for Wu the flop came down 
to give Ong a lead he would not relinquish and while the 
turn gave Wu some additional outs the 
river was not one of them and he was left with a paltry 1,600 while Ong stacked up to 43,000.
Wu was all in the next hand for the last of his chips with a player in mid-position making the call before Alex Lee offered the Taiwanese player some protection with a raise to 5,500 from the big blind to fold out the caller.
Po-Yi Wu:
Alex Lee:
Wu’s fate was decided by a good old-fashioned race, though unfortunately for the Taiwanese player it was one he lost when the board ran out to pair Lee’s king on the turn. Wu headed for the rail while Lee stacked up to 74,000.
