Nikolas Rivera Takes Overall Lead At Flight C

Level 19: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000
Nikolas Rivera

Flight C of the Okada Micro is a wrap! At the top of the counts was Nikolas Rivera who steadily climbed the ranks throughout the day, trailing behind young gun Maxwell Rosete as the bubble round approached.


Rivera eventually surged ahead after bursting the bubble, eliminating Bumyeol Lee to overtake and finish as flight leader with 532,000 in chips. This not only put him at the top of the Day 2 qualifiers list but also set the benchmark for the ongoing final flight. Rosete was very close behind, bagging an equally strong 524,000 for second in chips.


Flight C drew the largest turnout of 158 entries, and when combined with the two earlier flights, it easily surpassed the PHP 1M guarantee. From this flight, 19 players advanced to the ITM round.


Flight A: 115 entries / 14 qualifiers

Flight B: 121 entries / 15 qualifiers

Flight C: 158 entries / 19 qualifiers


Buy-in: PHP 4500 (~$80)

Guarantee: PHP 1,000,000 (~$17,500)

Sumay Mishra Eliminated

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Lots of shoves taking place with some players lucky enough to double through. Not the case though for Sumay Mishra who once had a six digit stack that has now vanished. Mishra three-bet all in for 40,000 (10 bb) and ran right into Hyunjin Kim's better hand.

Michael Manlapaz's Flush Doesn't Hold

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200
Michael Manlapaz

Six players toss in 3500 for a hefty pot of 22,200 before the flop lands A♄ 4♄ 2♄ . With all hearts on the board, Michael Manlapaz bets 5000 which is raised all in by Hyunjin Kim to 58,300. Everyone folds back to Manlapaz who calls with just over 60,000 and says, "please pray for me" as he shows his flush.
