Benjie Lim was the first casualty at the Final 8. He fell at the hands of Julian Hasse in a hand that began with Lim raising to 43K only to be re-raised to 85K by Hasse. Lim answered with his own re-raise and shoved his remaining 110K chips in the middle. Hasse snap-called and it was a showdown:
Hasse: A♦ A♠
Lim: Q♣ Q♥
With the board running A♥ 9♦ 2♣ 10♣ K♣, Lim was eliminated in 8th place. Hasse climbed to 540K chips. Benjie Lim earns PHP127,000 for his great finish at the Main Event.
