Flight A ends with Ryoji Hatanaka bagging the chip lead

Level 16: 2,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Ryoji Hatanaka

In just over eight hours of play, Flight A of the 20th Manila Super Series concluded with Japan's Ryoji Hatanaka delivering the bubble. This sent his stack soaring to 436,000 (87 bb) to close the day as chip leader.

The opening flight drew 228 entries with 35 players advancing to Day 2 / ITM round. Each one is guaranteed a piece of the PHP 10 Million prize pool.

Plenty of time for players to jump in the action with three flights yet to be tabled.
