Main Event

Utg+1 Noel Araniel opened to 26,000 and called a 76,000 three bet from small blind Emmanuel Segismundo. Flop came 2♥ 8♦ 7♠ and saw Segismundo send out a 42,000 bet, called by Araniel. Turn 3♠ went check check, moving on to river 3♥ . Segismundo bet all-in and left Araniel to tank fold, saving his 15 BB behind.

Utg+2 Noel Araniel opened to 23,000 and put in the additional 36,000 after Jeffrey Pamplona flicked in his short stack with A♦ K♣ . Araniel finds himself behind with A♥ T♥ and fails to catch up on board 3♥ J♣ A♣ 5♥ J♠ . Pamplona earns the pot with his higher kicker in play, boosting to a 14 BB stack.

Folded to button Noel Araniel, he pushed all-in with A♠ 8♦ and saw small blind Michael Bueza call off his last 70,00 with A♣ T♥ . Dominated, Araniel’s aggression paid off after the board 5♦ 2♦ 3♦ 8♣ 9♦ ran a one card flush to his diamond, busting Bueza entirely.

Folded to small blind Jayden Zalac, he pushed all-in for 85,000 total with J♥ J♦ and was called by big blind Noel Araniel with A♣ T♣ . A cooler situation, Araniel quickly outflopped Zalac on board A♠ 9♥ 9♠ 2♥ K♣ and crushed his opponent’s pocket jacks all the way through.
