Sathesh Muthu Eliminated in 2nd Place (PHP2,140,000)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Sathesh Muthu faced a raise to 50,000 by Peter Plater and called out of the big blind. The flop fell {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Muthu checked. Plater bet 100,000 and Muthu check-raised all in to see Plater ask for a count. The shove was for a total of 326,000 and Plater called to create the following showdown:

Sathesh Muthu: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Peter Plater: {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Muthu was away ahead with his over pair and open-ended straight draw, while Plater needed a seven or jack. That situation changed slightly with the {9-Hearts} turn, as Muthu had top set all of a sudden and Plater needed a five for a chop and a ten for the victory. Fellow Aussie Brian McAllister on the rail predicted the ten and sure enough the {10-Clubs} river improved Plater to a jack-high straight.

After winning his seat in the PHP33,000 satellite yesterday, Plater turned that into a payday of PHP3,100,000 while Muthu had to settle for second place and PHP2,140,000 (~$42,475).

A recap of today's action is to follow shortly.
