Gyuhyuk Lee Eliminated in 3rd Place (PHP5,501,000)
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Christopher Mateo won a pot against Yuanning Wu to pull further ahead of Gyuhyuk Lee and then raised to 800,000 on the button. Lee pushed for 5,750,000 in the small blind and Mateo called, though, his declaration of intent had to be repeated three times before both players revealed their cards.
Gyuhyuk Lee: 7♥7♠
Christopher Mateo: Q♣Q♠
The dominated pair of Lee found no help on the J♦10♥6♠2♦A♦ board and that spelled the end in third place for the long-time chip leader. Mateo and Wu will now enter a short break and potential deal negotiations as the stack sizes are nearly dead even.
