Alike the previous flights, late registration is open until the end of level 12 and regulation play will conclude five minutes into level 20. Random updates for this flight will be posted right here. We will also be posting updates on the prize pool.

6:30PM: Samarita out early

Dan Samarita came to our table to tell us of his early bust out. He had [qd][jd] on a board that had the nine and ten of diamonds at the flop. One thing led to another, he was all in and hoped to hit one of his many outs. None of it materialized and Samarita was eliminated.

6:15PM: Dimaano rails two, climbs to 50k

Ronald Dimaano raised on the utg seat three times the blinds to 600 and was called by four players until action landed on Maria Cristina Argao who shoved. Dimaano decided to join her, and so did the next player. The rest folded. Argao had pocket sixes, Dimaano had ace-king, and the other player had pocket queens. The board saw a king at the flop which held up the entire way. Dimaano up to around 50k and sent two packing.

6:00PM: Lee calls to the end for a pair

Hakju Lee raised to 500 preflop and was called by both players on the blinds, one of whom was Jae Chul Chang. At the flop of [8s][td][4d], everyone checked. At the turn of [tc], Chang bet 1100 and was called by Lee. On the river of [qh], Chang bet 1300 and Lee called once more. Lee won with his [ks][qs] top pair against Chang's [8h][6h].

5:45PM: Double up flush for Dimaano; Runas earns a pot

Spades are good to Ronald Dimaano who had [ts][4s] and not only did he hit top pair but he also had a flush draw that eventually connected and got paid with a double up.

Tofie Runas was in a raised pot with three other players. The board ran [9c][9h][2c] and everyone checked. At the turn of [jd], Runas bet 1075 and won without a challenge.

5:15PM: Pangan gets banged up

Luke Pangan came up and told us how he got crippled so early in the tournament. He had ace-queen nut straight on a board of king-jack-ten with two hearts. Despite the heavy betting to the river, his challenger called him and a heart spiked on the river. Pangan lost to a flush. When he chatted with us, he just doubled up with his ace-four landing a straight against pocket queens.
