Daniel Benor Bags The Lead At Largest Flight

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Daniel Benor - Flight C chip leader

After falling short in the first two flights, Daniel Benor found his stride in Flight C, spinning his 30,000 starting stack into a towering 487,000 to bag the top stack out of the 79 survivors.

I felt like I had a pretty good table drop today. Today was a really good one and from there on I just play the regular poker.

Kicking starting his ascent was a cooler at Level 8 where he landed a straight flush then later knocked out a big stack on a lucky river catch.

I made a straight flush against the set, after that there was one big hand where I rivered trips with QJ against Kings on an AJ board and got it all in against someone.

To secure the chip lead, Benor eliminated Han Gyung Rae during the last hands of the day.

Other notables navigating the minefield were APPT Main Event champions Xiong Cheng, Hai Ha Tran, and Florencio Campomanes.

The APPT Manila 2025 Main Event - Flight C was buzzing from the first shuffle, with players streaming in Cove Manila from the opening deal. By Level 4, the count had already surged to 253 entries, shattering the guarantee. When registration closed, it stood as the biggest flight, drawing 462 entries.

That wraps up Flight C! The survivors return on Sunday, August 3 for the race to the money and to the final table.

Chase Cokaliong

Chase Cokaliong left Van Boc fuming after revealing 4♣ 4♥ quads. Before that moment, Cokaliong raised from hijack and Van Boc defended his small blind. When the flop landed 7♦ 4♠ 2♦ , Cokaliong continued to represent a strong hand with another 8000 bet which Boc check-called.

The turn 5♦ brought another check from Boc while Cokaliong kept the pressure high betting a bigger 20,000, and still Boc stuck around to see the board complete 4♦ on the river. Sitting on the stone cold nuts, Cokaliong blasted an 80,000 pot sized bet. Boc tanked for several minutes before the clock was called. When he finally made the call, Cokaliong rolled over his quads, prompting a frustrated slam from Boc as the pot was pushed across the table.

2019 APPT Manila Main Event Champion In Action

Level 14: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

Florencio Campomanes

Another APPT Main Event champion in the field and having some success. Local player Florencio Campomanes championed this event in 2019 and has since won several PokerStars titles including the PokerStars Red Dragon Main Event in 2020 and the APPT Open last year. At this series, Campomanes finished 3rd at the APPT Super High Roller.

We caught two pots back-to-back go his way. The first one saw a board T♠ 7♦ K♠ 5♦ where he raised preflop, bet the flop, and won it on the uncalled turn bet against Mikhail Bakharev.

On the next, he called a raise then took command at the flop 4♣ 3♦ J♠ with a 7500 bet that Alexey Malitskiy called. After both checked the turn 3♥ , Campomanes resumed for 14,000 on the river 9♠ . Malitskiy called. Campomanes rivered a pair 9♣ 8♣ and it was good.

Sick Call! Chase Cokaliong Turns It For Double KO

Level 10: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Chase Cokaliong

Sick hand at Table 12 with three players in preflop to build a pot of 21,200. Action was checked to the aggressor Jaedeok Yu, he jammed 23,600 on a flop A♣ 2♣ 5♦ . Big blind Chase Cokaliong called then showed his hand A♥ 3♣ forgetting that Junichi Murakami was still in the hand. Murakami then shoved for a massive 123,100 sending Cokaliong deep in the tank. He eventually found reason to call the overbet and was behind.

Murakami had A♦ 8♦ , Yu was leading with A♠ Q♣ . Then came the turn 4♣ to catapult Cokaliong to a straight. At best, Murakami could only hope for a chop and Yu for a club to stay in the game but it was not to be. The river J♠ changed nothing for a double bust to Cokaliong.

Darius Nass

Darius Nass and Deepak Shetty defended their blinds against Junghyun Kim's raise for a three-way to the flop T♦ 3♥ 7♣ . Nass passed over the betting while Shetty dropped in 2000. Still three-way to the turn 5♠ with both opponents calling.

Again Shetty took charge for another 2000 but this time Kim raised to 6500. Nass flatted and Shetty called as well for the team intact to the river J♣ . Though quiet on the previous streets, Nass jumped out with a shove, Shetty folded and Kim called for his tournament life.

Nass's straight prevailed over Kim's two pair to ship it and clean out Kim.

Level 2: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Michihiko Matsuda turns up the heat with a 500 raise that finds one caller until button Leonardo Drago three-bets 3300. Action swings back to Matsuda who lays out a four-bet of 6000. This induces one fold while Drago wants to see the flop.

When the dealer spread 6♠ 6♥ 7♣ , Matsuda wastes no time betting out 4000, Drago raises 9000, Matsuda shoves 19,400, Drago calls with slightly more behind.

Upon revealing, Drago sees the bad news and needs some help however it doesn't arrive on the turn 6♣ and river 8♣ to plunge to 11 bb as Matsuda doubles up to 259 bb.

Landing a boat on the turn 3♥ , he checked and Shunsuke Matsue checked back then it was back to betting on the river J♣ for 5000. Matsue called and quickly mucked to the boat.

Last Two Flights At 12Pm And 7Pm Today

The 2025 APPT Manila continues today, Saturday, August 2 at Okada Manila with the last two flights of the ₱58 Million (~$1M+) guaranteed Main Event kicking off at 12pm and at 7pm. The past two flights drew a combined 590 entries with 91 players booking their seat to Day 2. Among the crowd were two APPT Main Event champions Christopher Mateo and Yuanning Wu.

The tour's marquee event costs ₱80,000 to enter. This gives players a deep 30,000 stack, equivalent to 150 times the opening 100-100 blinds. For Flight C, blinds increase every 40 minutes which means registration closes at the start of Level 11 at approximately 7:10PM. The evening heat, Flight D is a turbo with blinds escalating every 20 minutes. Late registration closes at approximately 10:50PM. Players that sign up at the very last second will still have a decent 20 bb to work with.

Somuchpoker will be onsite to bring you updates on the action so check back with us from time to time.
