Villa Exits; Liao Survives

Hernan Villa was spotted on his way out of the tournament area after his A♠4♠ were unable to hold up against the big blind of Minjung Kim. The runner-up of the Bounty Side Event flopped an open-ended straight draw with J♥9♥ and got there to send Villa packing.

Soon after his previous double-up, Ivan Dela Cruz three-bet jammed and Po Hao Liao called all-in for 23,700 behind that. Initial raiser John Tech asked for a count and folded.

Po Hao Liao: A♠A♥ All in
Ivan Dela Cruz: J♠J♦
