Akihiro Kawaguchi reraised to 6,600 preflop and then opted to flat-call a squeeze to 16,600 by Richard Marquez. On the 10♥10♠4♠ flop, Kawaguchi checked and called the shove by Marquez for around 30,000.
Richard Marquez: A♠K♣ 
Akihiro Kawaguchi: K♥K♠
The 3♦ turn and J♠ river were both bricks to eliminate Marquez for now, though he can still re-enter Day 1d or join the final turbo heat.
The turn showed 9♦9♣4♥5♣ and there were some 35,000 in the middle. Justin Geronimo pushed all-in for 19,900 in the small blind and Michael Bueza reluctantly called for less than that, while William Sarmiento on the button instantly called thereafter.
Michael Bueza: 9♠7♦
Justin Geronimo: 4♣4♠
William Sarmiento: 9♥8♠
The river was the blank K♦ and Bueza was eliminated, while Sarmiento was left with a severe short stack.
Edgar Asehan bet the A♠5♦3♠9♦ turn for 7,000 to get called by Renniel Galvez and they checked the 6♦ on the river. Asehan tabled the A♥3♦ for aces and treys, which ended up winning the pot.
Jester Intia was all-in with a severe short stack and tabled the Q♣J♦ in showdown against the A♠2♠ of Darren Yu.
"Jack of hearts!" he demanded but the A♦4♠4♣ flop left him in dire shape. It was all over on the 8♥ turn to make the Q♦ river a formality.

Lemmor Patulot raked in the pot and the board was all but gone when the dealer pushed all the chips from one side to the table to the other. Lucas Ito was the player to leave empty-handed and his K♣J♠ was still exposed for a pair and straight draw. However, Patulot's 5♥4♣ in the big blind had flopped bottom two pair and they held to send Ito to the rail for the time being.
Jansen Tiu recovered from dropping below the starting stack and won a four-way pot by betting the K♥Q♣7♣9♠ turn for 15,000.
Soon after on the same table, Jr-Hao Jan squeezed to 15,000 preflop and Martin Astorga made it 31,000 to go. Jan pushed all-in and Astorga called for around 70,000.
Martin Astorga: A♣K♦
Jr-Hao Jan: 3♥3♣
The mighty pocket pair held on the J♠9♥4♣6♥8♣ runout to send Astorga to the rail.
The repeat blind level has further boosted the field size to 172 entries of which 119 players remain, all in the hopes of making the top 12.5% of today's field in order to advance to the money stages.
Chierro De Leon squeezed to 7,700 preflop before Darren Yu then jammed for the last 16,100. Ginbert De Villa reshoved and De Leon eventually folded high cards.
Darren Yu: 5♥5♦
Ginbert De Villa: 7♥7♦
The superior pocket pair came out on top of the A♠K♦10♦3♣9♠ board to knock out Yu for now.
