HomeTan Tai Zheng could not take his run further as he was eliminated in 19th place by Emmanuel Imperial. Catching the hand at the flop of J♣ 9♦ 5♣ and a pot of around 80K already piled up in the middle, Imperial bet 55K which was doubled by Zheng to 110K. Imperial then announced all in and Zheng called for his tournament life.
Imperial: Q♠ 10♠ straight draw
Zheng: A♦ J♥ top pair
With the turn of 7♣, Zheng was looking pretty good, but with the river slapping an 8♦, Imperial won the hand with a straight. Zheng earns P131,000 for his run at the Main Event felt.
