Kickoff (16,500 PHP)

Matthias Frost opened utg+1 and called off Dmitrii Belikov's jam for 15,000.

In for a flip, board 2♥ 3♥ 5♦ 5♥ K♠ ran in favor of the overcards, eliminating Belikov from the qualifier.

Dmitrii Belikov defended his big blind against Justin Ong's 2,000 hijack open, and check called another 1,300 on flop 2♠ 6♣ 9♥ . Both checked turn J♥ through to river 6♥ , where Belikov led 5,200. Ong found the call with two pair A♦ 2♦ , good against his opponent's 7♣ 3♣ .

Yoshiki Nakamura sent out a 2,100 three bet on the cutoff against Dmitrii Belikov's open, and saw the latter complete. On flop 3♥ 5♠ Q♥ , Belikov check called another 1,400, and arrived at showdown shortly after turn 2♠ and river 5♣ were checked through. Nakamura tabled 4♠ 4♣ and shipped the pot.
