What a wild hand! Glad we were there to see it! Action began with Lester Edoc limping in on the button, Hiroyuki Yoshimura did the same on the small blind, then Flo Campomanes on the bb seat moved all in for 2.285M. Edoc folded but Yoshimura tanked for just under a minute then made the huge call for his tournament life.
When the cards turned over, everyone was shocked to see Yoshimura J♦ J♠. Campomanes had 10♣ 10♠.
The board ran K♠ A♦ 9♥ 5♦ 8♣. Yoshimura shipped in a massive double up with Campomanes paying up 1.87M. Yoshimura is now the leader with 4M, Campomanes down to 415K.
Another three-way limped pot saw a board 5♦ 3♣ 5♣, blind positions Edoc and Hiroyuki Yoshimura checked then button Flo Campomanes bet 255k. Edoc check-raised to 625k, Yoshimura folded, and Campomanes called. On the 9♠ turn, Edoc bet a huge 1.1M and that was enough for Campomanes to quickly muck out.
Lester Edoc continues to accumulate chips. He won another couple of pots before Flo Campomanes took a stand. The first pot won was on a turn board 6♣ 5♠ 6♥ 9♠ with Campomanes leading out with 150k, raised by Edoc to 300k, and the fold.
The next one, all three players were in on an unraised pot preflop, the flop came Q♠ A♠ 5♦. Edoc bet 150k and that was enough to win it with no challengers.
Then Campomanes stepped in and put the brakes on Edoc. Edoc raised to 200k on the button and Campomanes defended his big blind. On the flop 7♣ Q♦ 7♠, both checked and got a free turn 4♠. Campomanes slid out 225k and Edoc folded.
Edoc at 2.5M. Campomanes at 3.2M.
Lester Edoc took down a pot against the leader Campomanes… he showed 6-7 on a board 7-A-3-3-J. Just before that, he also denied the Campomanes a small pot with an uncalled shove on a board showing 6♦ K♠ K♥ 6♣ K♦.
