Jinlong Hu wins Single Day High Roller

Jinlong Hu (L) Haitao Luan (R)

After delivering the bubble, China’s Jinlong Hu bulldozed through the ITM round, eliminating side event champions Christopher Mateo (4th) and Lester Edoc (3rd) to face Luan Haitao at heads up. Both players quickly agreed on an ICM deal, guaranteeing Jinlong the bigger pay for his dominating stack. The finalists then agreed to flip for the trophy but with a twist. Haitao had to win the first two to take it. Jinlong won the first flip to claim the PS spade.

Megastack

Before the Mystery Bounty resumed, kicking off the Day 5 games was the Megastack with buy in at PHP 15,000 (~USD 270). Players start with a deep 30,000 stack, blinds increase every 25 minutes. Registration closes at the start of Level 11, approximately 4:30pm. Filipino player George Salud currently leads with 120 bb.

For those that fall early at today’s Mystery Bounty, the Megastack is a good way to bounce back in the running for a PS spade.
