More than a dozen players brought in at the very last minute for the regular heat 1d, which has seen the attendance boosted to 220 entries with some 99 players remaining which means they will play down to the top 28 finishers.
All those bowing out from now on still have the chance to enter the turbo heart 1e, which has 13 players of 18 entries remaining.
Level: 12
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 1,600
Upon completion of level 11, the field size currently stands at 206 entries with 86 players remaining and both of these figures are up for change during the third scheduled break of the day as the late registration is open for another 15 minutes.
In the turbo heat 1e, there are currently 14 players out of 18 entries left and the late registration will be open for longer, allowing all those to bust from Day 1d after the break to have one final chance at running up a stack.
Just before the end of the level, Joshua Figuerres got it in preflop with Q♦Q♠ out of the blinds against the A♦10♣ of Paul Tirnovean. The 5♦4♠3♠ flop gave Tirnovean a gutshot wheel draw while the 6♦ turn didn't change anything. A deuce would have brought a straight on the board for a chop now and thus, Tirnovean needed an ace which he caught with the A♥ on the river.

The three-way flop of J♥6♥2♦ was checked through to the 9♠ turn on which Ivan Dela Cruz in the big blind bet 6,500. Oliver Lirio called from under the gun and Aso Seitaro also came along on the button with a severe short stack behind. They all checked the 8♦ on the river and Dela Cruz tabled the A♥J♦ for the top pair.
Lirio had that beat with 9♥8♥ and Seitaro mucked.
"Fish," Lirio grimaced in the table chat before raking in the pot.
On the river of a Q♦J♦4♠5♠8♦ board, Badrudin Ampatuan bet 15,000 and was eventually paid off by Terry Gonzaga. The former then rolled over the 9♦3♦ for the flush and Gonzaga shook his head.
Ampatuan leaped into the top spot for the time being by some margin over fellow big stack Sandeep Mirchandani on the same table.
On a multi-way turn of Q♦J♥2♦A♣, Jonard Arcilla was all-in for 44,100. Only Andrew De Ocampo called and the cards were revealed.
Jonard Arcilla: A♥2♥ 
Andrew De Ocampo: A♦K♣
The 8♣ river kept Arcilla ahead with aces and deuces for the double, Sandeep Mirchandani mentioned he was glad to have folded eight-seven of diamonds as the flush draw bricked.
Anthony Gabitan raised it up to 2,900 from under the gun and was called only by Finn Ove Penderak in the big blind. Following the K♥K♣J♣ flop, Penderak check-raised from 2,000 to 6,500 for Gabitan to call and then led the 6♥ turn for 12,500. Gabitan pondered only for a few seconds before he folded.
