APL Main Event (65,000 PHP)

Running thin, Czardy Rivera stuffed his last 435,000 on the hijack and was called by Reiner Magbutay on the small blind.

Magbutay well ahead, sent his opponent packing after board 6♠ T♦ K♥ 4♠ Q♦ left Rivera with seven-high.

Hyuntae Kim flicked in his last 175,000 utg, called by Czardy Rivera on the small blind. Soo Jo Kim on the big blind, reshoved for 480,000 and successfully got Rivera out of the way.

Whilst a cooler situation, no damage was done on either player as the runout 9♣ 5♣ 7♦ 8♥ 6♥ landed a straight on board for a split pot.

Action is down to the final two tables. Another seat redraw will be put in place, with play continuing down to the final nine.
