Folded to the CO, short-stacked Kim Dong Hyun (better known as Tommy Kim) went for it all by shoving but because of the size of his stack (less than 10 BBs), Christopher Michael Soyza made the Duty Call from the BB.
Kim showed 4♠ 4♣ while Soyza had two over cards in K♥ 8♣ .
The board was instantly ominous for Kim as it went: Q♥ J♥ 6♥ and then Turn sealed the deal with 2♥. To add insult to demise, a K♠ was the River card.
Kim is out at 18th for PhP214,300.00.
Alfonso Baja (PHI) shoved A♦ Q♦ and was promptly called by compatriot Richard Nakila who showed 7♥ 7♠.
The Flop immediately gave Nakila a huge edge: J♥ 7♣ 3♦ as he hit a set.
Needing running cards to come back from impending doom, the Turn was a 10♠ but the King never appeared on the River for Baja as it came as a 8♣.
Baja, a one-time overall chip-leader yesterday, finishes in 19th place.
AIPF as WSOP Bracelent winner Abhinav Iyer (IND) went up against Joris Micl (NED).

Japan’s Masatoshi Ezawai was eliminated in 22nd place.
Jeorge Lagatuz (PHI) had just gotten moved from the Featured Table to Table 1 and immediately got dealt Q♠ Q♣ .
After a raise, re-raise, all-in, call sequence against Kunal Patni (IND), Lgatuz then saw he was up against A♠ A♣ and almost doubled-up with the board going: J♣ 9♥ 7♦ 8♣ needing to River a 10 for a Straight.
But instead the 9♣ came out and sent Lagatuz packing in 21st place.
Alfonso Baja got a much needed double up just after he got hit.
William Teoh (MAS) raised from the CO and Baja shoved in the SB.
Teoh showed A♥ 10♥ while Baja was dominated with A♣ 8♦
However, the Flop showed Q♣ 9♣ 4♣ ; a glimmer of hope for Baja. The turn made his dreams come true as the 2♣ for the Nut Flush. The River was 4♦ .
In an AIPF situation, short-stacked Chang Jae Lee (KOR) tabled A♠ A♣ while Alfonso Baja (PHI) showed A♥ K♣ . The flop did not help Baja: J♥ 2♦ J♣ Q♦ 3♠.
