Warm-up (12,500 PHP)

Having just doubled up his opponent previously, Seonghun Jeong once again faced Ashley Patterson, this time for his last 50,000.

In for a flip, Jeong dodged bubble elimination, having found a pair on board Q♥ 2♦ 3♣ A♥ Q♣ .

With a pot of 32,000 in the middle across board A♥ 2♥ T♥ 4♠ , Ashley Patterson sent out a hefty bet of 28,000, and gladly called off his remaining 60,000 after Seonghun Jeong moved all-in.

Seonghun Jeong A♠ T♠

Ashley Patterson Q♥ 8♥

Crushed against Patterson's flopped flush, Jeong took the blow after failing to catch up on river 8♠ .

With 29 players left holding onto their seats, that means only five more eliminations are due before the day wraps up, with 24 survivors advancing onto Day 2. A total of 43 players are geared to cut a share of the PHP 3,019,610 (~USD 51,690) prize pool, 19 already qualified from today's initial flight.

Both checked turn A♠ through to river 5♥ , where Jeong led 25,000. Talamayan surrendered, leaving Jeong to pick up the pot.
