Goh Kian Ming was the next to fall at the Main Event. It began with a raised pot preflop initiated by Emmanuel Imperial that was called by Ming. At the flop of K♣ J♦ 8♥, Ming checked to Imperial who slid out 35K to which he raised to 85K. Imperial answered back with an all in challenge and Ming called with his remaining 143K chips.
Ming: K♦ 3♦
Imperial: J♥ 6♦
Though Ming was ahead, when the turn landed 6♥, Imperial connected with two pairs overtaking Ming’s top pair. With the river of A♦, Imperial eliminated Ming from the tournament. Ming leaves in 25th place and earns P131,000 for his finish.
