Jessie Leonarez Eliminated in 3rd Place (PHP 2,083,000)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Jessie Leonarez Final Table
Jessie Leonarez Final Table

Aaron Lim opened to 225,000 from the button and folded to a three-bet worth 550,000 total by Jessie Leonarez out of the big blind. One hand later, Leonarez limped the small blind, Lim raised to 300,000 and the Filipino moved all in for 30 big blinds. Lim snapped it off and the two players as well as the entire rail raised to their feet.

Lim: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Leonarez: {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The rail demanded for an ace, but the {2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop sent them silent. It was all over after the {A-Clubs} turn and the {J-Diamonds} river was just a formality. Leonarez was eliminated in third place for a payday of PHP 2,083,000 and both remaining players then agreed to a quick five-minute break before the battle one-versus-one.

Lim Grabs The Lead

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Aaron Lim made it 250,000 from the small blind and Douglas Olsson called. The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Lim made it 220,000.

Olsson fired back, making it 600,000 and Lim countered with another raise, bumping it to 1,050,000. Olsson promptly shipped it in and Lim called.

It was Lim on {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for two pair and Olsson on a flush draw with {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The {3-Spades} turn gave Olsson outs to a straight, but the {k-Spades} river was a brick, allowing Lim to double into the chip lead.

Terry Fan Eliminated in 4th Place (PHP 1,588,900)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Terry Fan
Terry Fan

Douglas Olsson opened to 200,000 as first to act and Jessie Leonarez flat-called from one seat over. On the {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop, Olsson continued for 300,000 and was quickly called by his opponent before both checked the {6-Clubs} on the turn. The {5-Clubs} river saw the Swede lead for 800,000 and Leonarez folded, showing his cards to the rail. Terry Fan inquired that they had to be shown to everyone and the Filipino showed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Olsson has a girlfriend from the Philippines and received a kiss from her on the rail after the previous big double up. This would play a side role in the next hand that followed straight after.

Fan raised to 225,000 from the button and Olsson asked for his stack when it was his turn in the big blind. Once the Swede got to know that it was 2 million pretty much spot on, he announced all in and was called quickly.

Fan: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Olsson: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The local rail started to shout Olsson's name and erupted in celebration on the {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, also demanding "kiss kiss kiss" from the couple. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn was an overkill and Olsson indeed got his kiss from the girlfriend before shaking hands with Fan while the meaningless {Q-Hearts} river completed the board.

The Bluff Gets Caught

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Picking up the action on the {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} turn, Jessie Leonarez bet 175,000 out of the small blind and Terry Fan called in the big blind. The {6-Hearts} river was checked by Leonarez and he snap-called the 400,000-bet of Fan with the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Fan was bluffing with a busted straight draw on {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and dropped down to 20 big blinds.

Fan Gets a Double

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Aaron Lim raised to 225,000 from under the gun and was called by Terry Fan in the big blind. Both players checked down the {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board and Fan's {A-Hearts}{4-Spades} ended up second-best to the {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} of Lim.

One hand later, the action folded around to Fan in the small blind and he shoved for 1,310,000. Lim called with the {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} but didn't score final blow to his opponent's {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Fan doubled with trip aces.
