HomeIn just ten minutes, the Championships Event will be underway with the final 21 players returning for a shot at the Php 11,785,500 prize pool and a seat to the final 8. With the money starting at 17th place, that means four players will walk away empty handed. The minimum cash is Php 155,600. Day 3 will end once the final 8 is reached. Cards in the air at 1pm. Good luck to all!
Currently in the lead is Japan’s Yuto Hishikawa with a towering 765,000 in chips, which is equivalent to 95 BB. At his heels is Enrico De Rosa with 747,000 with a very close 93 BB. We should expect plenty of action as both players are seated at the same table.
