Ex-UFC fighter Heath Herring has been eliminated from the APPT Cebu Main Event, just moments after fellow MMA fighter Terrence Chan was KO’d.
Herring had 16,650 chips which he moved all in preflop from under the gun holding . Unfortunately for Herring, Adam Monaghan woke up with and made the call.
The board ran out to leave Monaghan’s ace-king in front to eliminate Herring from the tournament. Meanwhile Monaghan’s hot form continues here in The Philippines as he moves up to 70,000.
An interesting hand has seen 2010 Macau Millions champion Justin Chan collect a small pot with an underpair to the board.
Chan raised preflop from under the gun and found action from the small blind, who then decided to lead out for 3,500 on the flop. Chan made a read and called before both players checked the turn and river.
The small blind opened an imaginative for nine-high as Chan’s were good enough to take it down. Chan sits with around 25,000.
Raiden Kan has busted out just short of a Day 2 berth. His tournament came to an end when he moved all in on a flop of holding . There was a bet of 2,000 and Kan was all in for another 12,400 on top, but his opponent made the call with a dominant .
Kan would need one of the two eights to survive but even that last breath of hope evaporated when the landed on the turn to leave Kan drawing dead.
The players are currently scrambling to get their chips in the bags as the day has ended. We can confirm that Sang Yong Lee is the chip leader of Day 1c, while the rest of the chip counts and exact number of survivors will be made available as soon as possible.
