Neil Raine has scalped another player bringing us to the Final 8! Missing the official final table was Shyh Chyn Lim who was all in with A♣ K♠ and faced Raine with 10♦ 10♣
The board ran a dramatic J♣ 2♥ 2♣ A♠ improving Lim to a higher two pair but with the river spiking a 10♥ it was all over for Lim. Raine overtook with a full house
Lim earned PHP 131,400 for his deep run at the Main Event.
First player to the money was Kosei Ichinose. He moved all in with 21k and with initial raiser Shyh Chyn Lim putting in 19k and called by Nakajima Shigenori, both players called.
On the flop K♠ 7♥ 10♦ both Lim and Shigenori checked. At the J♦ turn, Lim bet 21k for a side pot, Shigenori raised to 75k, and Lim flat-called. On the 6♦ river, Lim slid out 70k and after seconds of contemplation, Shigenori called.
Lim A♠ K♦
Shigenori A♦ Q♠ straight
Shigenori won the pot and climbed to 775k. Lim dropped to 160k.
Kosei Ichinose earned PHP 119,100 for his deep run at the Main Event.
Kosei Ichinose is officially the shortest stack coming into the final ten table. With the big blind upon him, he called the 20 raise by Neil Raine along with the short stack Chris Morrison. At the flop J♠ 9♦ Q♦, all checked. On the J♥ turn, Morrison checked, Ichinose bet 20k, and only Raine called.
On the river A♠, Ichinose bet 25k leaving himself 22k behind. Raine called.
Ichinose 7♥ 6♥ bluff
Raine J♦ 10♦ trips
From 82 entries down to the unofficial final table of ten players. The first hand of the felt went to Anthony Abram. He called a 17k preflop raise from the leader Neil Raine and saw the flop land A♥ 7♠ 4♥. Raine bet 20k, Abram raised to 60k, then took it with a fold from Raine. He now has 570k.
William Ysmael got to the table late and only saw a couple of hands before he was knocked out by the massive chip leader Neil Raine. Since the start of the game, Raine has been raising nearly every hand at the table and Ysmael joined him in two of those pots.
The first one saw Ysmael three-bet Raine’s 20k bet to make it 65k to go. Raine called. On the flop Q♠ 2♣ 7♠, Ysmael checked, Raine jammed 105k, Ysmael folded.
On the next hand, Raine raised to 16k, Ysmael three-bet again to make it 60k, then Raine immediately shoved. Ysmael snap-called right back.
Raine A♠ J♠
Ysmael A♦ Q♥
Though Ysmael was ahead, the board ran 3♥ 5♣ J♥ 4♠ 9♠ and with a pair to Raine, the bubble burst.
Raine now over 1.5M in chips.
Joon Won Lee “James” raised it up to 30k and got a caller in the big blind player Nakajima Shingeori. At the flop 3♠ J♦ 3♥, both players checked. On the 8♦ turn, Shigenori led for 30k and got the instant call from Lee. At the river 10♠, Shigenori laid out 100k but this time got a fold instead. Shigenori won the pot and showed his 3♦ 3♣ quads.
Anthony Abram claimed a sizable pot at his table. He raised to 17k and was called by Koji Asaka and Nakajima Shigenori. At the flop A♠ 6♣ K♦, Abram continued with a 35k bet and won the pot with no further challenge.
