Jun Javalera stopped in 3rd place – PHP1,445,500

It was a devastating river card for Jun Javalera who was just eliminated by chip leader Yah Loon. It all began with a all three players in the hand with an upraised pot in the middle. With the board running 3♦ 6♣ 7♠, Loon kicked off the betting round with 100k, Zhang folded, but Javalera raised to make it 325k. Zhang called and they went to see a turn of 4♦. Loon announced all in and despite knowing he was way covered, Javalera called for his tournament life and it was a showdown. Javalera was ahead with 10♠ 10♥ against Loon’s 9♦ 7♦ lower pair but had a flush draw. The river card was then opened, it was a 10♦, giving Javalera a set but still not good enough as it also improved Loon to a flush. Javalera ends the Main Event in 3rd place and collects PHP1,445,500 for his impressive finish.
