Day 2 Ends Early With Final 9 Players Set!

Level 23: 10,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Final 9 Players - APPT Open

Day 2 of the 2025 APPT Manila Championship – APPT Open saw 53 players return to the felt at Okada Manila, each already in the money and vying for a seat at the Final 9. After just seven hours of play and fifteen minutes into Level 23, the target was reached. Though some players wanted to continue, the schedule held firm; the finalists bagged up and will return on Monday, October 20 at 12PM to play for the title.

It was a tight race for the chip lead as Leo Kamiya and Maxwell Rosete were tabled together during the final two tables and traded blows. The defending champion Kamiya gained the upper hand by night’s end, bagging 2,575,000 (103 bb), five big blinds ahead of Rosete’s 2,440,000 (98 bb).

Leo Kamiya - Final 9 chip leader

Early in the day, Kamiya surged ahead after a cooler against William Ysmael, then maintained control until Rosete went on a late heater that sent Kunal Jain out in 12th place. Kamiya reclaimed the lead after eliminating Gary Thompson in 11th place and is in prime shape for a back-to-back APPT Open title in the same year!

When play resumes, all nine finalists return in good shape. The average stack is 48 bb. Battulga Ganbold will enter as the shortest stack but still armed with a decent 20 bigs.

Action restarts with 44:26 left in Level 26 (10,000/25,000, ante 25,000). Each player has secured ₱420,000 (~US$ 7,225), but all eyes are on the coveted ₱3,900,000 (~US$ 67,075) top prize and the first APPT shard trophy of the series.

The board, however, refused to cooperate running 2♣ 7♠ 5♠ 6♦ 6♣ to pair up Larsen and seal Cowell’s elimination.

No more checking for Lombardozzi as he laid out a bet of 80,000. Rosete called. Lombardozzi sheepishly revealed 4♥ 5♥ bluff, losing in every way to A♠ 9♣ top pair.

Level 22: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Since returning from the break, Maxwell Rosete has been on a tear, surging to the top of the counts with over 2.4 million in chips. His biggest haul came in a massive pot against Kunal Jain.

Defending his big blind against Jain’s cutoff raise, Rosete check-called an 80,000 bet on the K♠ 8♣ J♥ flop. On the 6♠ turn, he turned up the heat with a check-raise from 100,000 to 280,000, prompting Jain to move all in. With no time banks left, Rosete had to act quick and called.

It proved correct.

Jain revealed T♠ 9♠ for a double gutshot, while Rosete tabled K♣ 8♠ for two pair. The river 3♥ sealed the pot for Rosete, and is now the clear front-runner.

Sitting on the button position, Maxwell Rosete pressured under the gun Yao Liu by three-betting from 20,000 to make it 65,000 to see the flop. Liu called and it was off to the races with a big pot up for grabs.

The dealer fanned 8♥ K♠ J♥ flop. Rosete continued for 65,000, got popped by Liu with a check-raise of 175,000. This sent Rosete tanking until he used up his last two remaining time-banks before giving up his stake in the pot while showing K♣ top pair.

Lei checked again and this time Zhao checked back though only momentarily as he resumed for 55,000 on the river 4♠ after a third check from Lei who then folded.

There will be no Vietnam victory at this event with Gary Thompson ending the hopes of their last contender Quang Minh Bach. It happened in back-to-back hands when Quang defended his big blind by calling Thompson's under the gun raise.

At the flop 2♦ 5♠ K♦ , Thompson continued for 10,000 then called Quang's check-raise of 45,000. All of Quang's chips went in on the turn 7♦ and saw the bad news when Thompson snapped with A♠ A♣ . Quang had hope with K♥ 8♦ but the river J♣ was no help.

Down to just 23,000, Quang went all-in on the next hand with A♣ 6♠ and was outdrawn by Thompson with A♥ 4♦ on a board 7♠ K♦ 4♥ J♣ 7♦ .

Battulga Ganbold lifted off with a min-raise from under the gun and two players took interest.

Only Ganbold continued to the turn J♦ where he switched again and led out for 45,000. Mateo called then both tank-checked the river Q♥ .

Ganbold showed 8♦ 8♥ straight, a visibly frustrated Mateo shows us 9♦ 9♥ and says "I had set at the flop", which he did indeed.

Action from the get-go with short stacks shoving and some finding luck while a couple go bust. The first ones to scoop up were Man Lok Chan and Gary Guerrero. For Chan, he entered as the shortest with just 23,000 and raised to 21,000. Yao Liu called then Chan tossed in the rest on a flop 5♦ Q♣ 5♣ . Liu obliged and showed 3♦ 3♠ , Chan had better with T♣ T♦ . The turn K♣ and T♦ river ensured his victory.

For Guerrero, it was a classic flip against John Matsuda with Q♣ Q♥ standing up against A♠ K♠ on a board Q♦ 4♦ T♣ 4♥ K♦ for a full house.

Falling by the wayside were Yordan Petrov and Cao Ngoc Anh. Petrov had only 32,000 at the start and lost the flip to Mikhail Katkov with Ace-Nine pairing up to dust pocket Threes. Vietnamese pro Cao joined to the rail next with all of his chips going to Leo Kamiya.
