Main Event (45,000 PHP)

Chip leader Lenart Ecarma lays out 2,400 from UTG and takes four on another family trip to the flop 4♥ 3♥ 5♦ . The BB has a go with a 4,000 lead, but gets shut down by a 12,000 raise from the preflop aggressor and a cold call from SB Alex Chong Tak Sin to take us to the turn T♥ heads up. Holding 8♦ 8♣, Lenart puts Alex all-in for his remaining 12,000 chips with K♣ 2♣ for an open ender, but the dealer denies it with the river 3♦ to send Alex Chong Tak Sin to the rail.
