HomeMichael Mariakis and Jerwin Pasco have been battling at their table. In one of the hands, Pasco claimed around 60K from Mariakis but in another hand, Mariakis took it back and more.
During the hand, on a raised pot preflop, the flop showed 7♥ Q♣ J♠ to which Mariakis bet 32K. Pasco replied with a raise to make it 97K to go. Mariakis called. Then at the turn of Q♦ both slowed down and checked. But at the river of 9♥, Mariakis was all in and Pasco called.

Supnet climbs to over 140,000 or so.

Ong Jun Yang (Singapore) obviously wanted a double-up badly to start this Day 3. In the first few hands, he shoved his final 69,000 or so and found no callers.
In another hand Huy Pham (Vietnam), who in an earlier battle doubled-up, raised to 15,000 and saw another shove from Jun Yang for his final 75,000 or so.
Pham called.
Pham: 9♣ 9♦
Jun Yang: Q♦ 5♦
The board 4♠ 7♠ J♣ 10♦ 9♠ was of no help whatsoever for Jun Yang and we have another bust out in the main event. Pham has now tripled up his starting stack today to over 180,000.
