Gursimran Brar: Q♥J♥

The 3♥ turn and 6♠ river changed nothing and Lim became the first casualty on the final table for PHP 304,200.

Gursimran Brar raised to 100,000 in the small blind and then called a three-bet to 300,000 by Hyunsik Nam in the small blind. Nam fired the 9♠8♦7♦ flop for 300,000 to get called by Brar and then checked the 9♦ turn. Brar bet 400,000 and Nam called.

On the 6♥ river, Nam checked again and Brar bet 500,000. With a lot of consideration, Nam called and then stormed away from the table when Brar showed his 10♥7♥ for a straight.

Ronn Mesina raised to 100,000 and Seung Hyun Han called in the next seat. Qi Xia then pushed all-in for 665,000 and Mesina folded. Han was visibly frustrated and already glanced at his cards rather high to expose a pocket pair on his side of the felt. He then counted his stack and ultimately called all-in for 555,000.

Seung Hyun Han: 9♣9♥ All in
Qi Xia: A♠Q♣

The A♣K♥9♦8♠10♣ board gave Han a set for more than the double.

Qi Xia had survived multiple times with a short stack double during the later stages of Day 2 and he had plummeted into the danger zone once again on this final table when he three-bet jammed for 285,000 out of the small blind. Alexis Lim called and they were flipping.

Qi Xia: 6♥6♠ All in
Alexis Lim: A♣J♠

The 3♥2♣2♠7♥7♦ board once again saved Xia from elimination.

Level 34 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Gursimran Brar increased his stack when he fired two barrels on the button against Hyunsik Nam in the big blind when the latter check-folded the A♦K♥8♠2♠ turn to a bet of 180,000.

Brar then opened to 80,000 in the cutoff and Nam three-bet to 240,000 in the small blind. The call of Brar led to the A♥4♦2♦ flop on which Nam continued for 350,000 to force a fold of the grinning Brar.

"Will I hit my set on the river?" he said and added that it was his favourite hand, indicating that was pocket nines.

Another player demanded "show the bluff" but Brar was certain Nam had it, the South Korean rolled over the A♦K♠ indeed.

Seung Hyun Han opened to 80,000 and Tsun Yin Wong called from the big blind. On the A♦J♥3♣ flop, Wong check-called for 75,000 and they checked the 4♣ on the turn. Wong led the A♥ river for only 60,000 and Han visibly sighed.

After shaking his had for a few seconds, Han called and then mucked when he was shown A♠Q♣ for trips aces by Wong. The start-of-the-day chip leader has played very few hands thus far but made them count to retain his top spot.

The action started with a raise to 80,000 on the button by Patrick Clarke and Gursimran Brar in the big blind three-bet to 240,000. After using a time bank, Clarke then four-bet to 525,000 and Brar called after brief consideration.

They both checked the 10♥8♠4♠ flop and 8♥ turn to see the 9♦ follow on the river.

Brar prepared a large bet for three quarters of his stack before then grabbing three time banks and tossing them towards the dealer. He cut back some chips and ultimately bet 545,000.

Clarke was sent into the tank and mentioned "you could have jacks" before ultimately making the call. Brar flipped over the 10♠10♦ for tens full of eights to win the healthy pot and take over the lead.
