Stephen Miles and Junichi Nakagiri
Stephen Miles was all in with 80k and was able to double up through Junichi Nakagiri. Miles A♠ K♠, Nakagiri A♦ Q♠. The board bricked. Miles at 170K.
Jack Wu sat with a healthy stack at the start of Day 3 and built on it but one hand sent him to below 60k with overpair falling Zheng Xi Yong’s flush. with only 55k behind, Wu found a spot to push holding A♥ 10♣. Unfortunately for him, initial raiser Le Ngoc Khanh had A♠ A♦. No bad beat on the board and Wu fell in 39th place. He earned PH 91,500.
