With an almost pristine starting stack after a late reload, Florencio Campomanes defends his big against a 3,000 open from BU Andrei Vavilonskii and we are treated with the flop J♥ K♦ A♦ . A 2,500 c-bet and a call reveal the turn Q♦ for a check-check to the river 7♦ and Flo takes over the lead with an 8,000 bet to take down the pot uncontested.

UTG Jaejung Kim opens 1,600 and BB Florencio Campomanes defends big with a 4,200 three-bet that gets called to see the flop 6♥ 8♦ 2♦ . Flo continues for 5,100, his opponent raises to 12,500 and a reraise to 21,500 gets called to reveal the turn Q♠ . Florencio Campomanes announces all in for 18,100 with A♦ A♠ , gets called by Jaejung Kim holding J♦ T♦ for a bunch of outs and and the dealer finds one of them with the river 9♠ to crack the aces and send Flo to the rails for now.

A raise to 3,500 from HJ Vivencio Nachor Jr. with A♠ A♦ and a 13,000 jam from CO Florencio Campomanes holding Q♥ Q♣ has the dealer flip over 5♥ 4♦ 4♣ A♥ 7♣ and serve another elimination.
