Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With some 14,000 in the middle to the K♦2♥2♠5♣ turn, Taehyung Kim bet 10,000 and Suya Lee called. That led them to the J♦ on the river after which Kim pushed all-in for 16,200. Lee mulled it over for two minutes and the clock was called on him.

Lee called eventually and Kim rolled over the A♦8♥, which was beaten by the K♣Q♣ of Lee. "Nice try Sir," Thijs Hilberts joked while Lee replied to another player at the table "I never played with him before".

Artem Utevskii raised it up and was called by the early chip leader Bonifacio Mondalo. As they headed to the J♠10♥2♥ flop, Mondalo checked and Utevskii continued for 600. The check-raise for another 2,200 on top followed and Utevskii folded.

New on the table is fellow Filipino player Moses Saquing, while Cheong Yew Lee also entered the fray.

In the meanwhile, Thijs Hilberts defended his big blind against a cutoff raise by Suya Lee but quickly check-folded a K♣7♦6♦ flop.

So far, the screens show 45 players out of 46 entries remaining.

On the tail end of a heads-up pot between Ivan Tabucal out of the blinds and Patrick Clarke, the board showed 9♣6♠4♠5♦2♣. Tabucal quickly check-called a bet worth 1,800 by Clarke but mucked when he was shown the 10♠10♦ by the Irishman, who now resides on an island of the Philippines.

A pot of around 8,000 emerged to the 10♥10♦4♦7♥10♣ river on which Thijs Hilberts checked with around 20,600 behind. Bonifacio Mondalo simply pushed all-in for 25,300 and that sent Hilberts into a frenzy.

"Will you at least show me one card if I fold?" the Dutchman inquired but received no reply. Ultimately, Hilberts couldn't find a fold and was shown the J♦10♠ for quads tens by Mondalo, mucking his Q♠Q♥ for a full house.

"What a great start into the day," Hilberts joked and re-entered shortly after.
