It was high time for short stacked Luke Pangan to get something going in order to catch up with the big guns. Looking for a double up, he raised to 75k from the utg seat but unfortunately got no callers and had to settle for the blinds and antes. He showed his pocket queens.
Following that hand, action folded all the way to the blinds with Le Ngoc Khanh raising to 64k. On the big blind, Pangan quickly shoved his 360k chips sending Le to the tank. Le eventually called and it was a showdown. Pangan had A♦ 7♥ which was slightly ahead of Le’s K♣ 10♥. With the board running 6♦ 5♥ 6♠ 10♠ 4♥, Le improved and ousted Pangan in 7th place. Pangan collects PHP517,300 for his finish at the Main Event.
