Koo Q♦ Q♣ Lee K♠ J♣

Crushed against an overpair, Lee headed for the exit after the turn A♥ and river A♣ completed the board.

A raised pot, Jose Colada bet jam all-in for 76,000 with K♠ Q♦ on flop Q♠ 5♦ 8♠ and ran right into Joseph Talamayan’s better A♠ Q♥ . No king on either turn 6♠ or river 9♣ meant Colada is knocked out from the tournament one spot short of the money.

On to another table, hijack Lee Suya open shoved 81,000 in with 7♣ 7♠ and was quickly called by big blind Bonifacio Mondalo with A♥ A♠ . Bonifacio cruised through board Q♦ K♠ T♣ Q♣ 2♦ and collected the pot whilst eliminating Lee from the Main Event games.

A three way all-in kicked off with utg Lester Edoc moving all-in for 14,500, followed by another 16,000 jam from Lee Suya behind. Big blind Renniel Galvez put in the final call and the three run the board.
