We are experiencing some extremely severe technical difficulties with our Internet connection and apologize for the delay in bringing you the action.
There's a huge number of local media present, and with the additional load from the filming crew, the facilities here at the Hyatt Manila simply cannot cope. So much so, that there has just been a blackout on set!
We will do our best to continue our live coverage as best we can, and we thank you for your patience.
Roger Spets and Ira Blumenthal limp, as do Maor Feldinger and Bas van Liere. Kazuhiro Sato completes his small blind and Van Marcus sees an opportunity and raises to 40,000 from the big blind.
Derick Hernandez raises to 18,000 and Brett Parise reraises to 55,000 from the small blind. Derick moves all in for an extra 100,000 and Parise calls.
Derick:
Parise:
The flop is and there is a roar from the crowd as Parise flops a set. The turn and river blank and we lose local player Derick Hernadez in ninth place.
