The second flight of the 2026 Gods Of Poker Manila Main Event has concluded inside of the Grand Ballroom of the five-star City of Dreams Manila Luxury Hotel Resort & Casino. Another five players entered before the start to bring the field size up to 39 entries and the top six finishers were guaranteed a portion of the PHP 30 Million prize pool.
Five of the six to make it through after a rather short-lived final day of this split flight already had chips at their disposal the previous evening. However, Australia's David Wang had been busy in other High Roller contests and claimed the trophy in Event #46 Hyper Turbo High Roller that he took advantage of the late registration prior to the start with 30 big blinds.
Within the first two hours of play, Wang had increased his stack more than five-fold and knocked out at least two opponents including John Tech. The Aussie didn't stay at the top of the leaderboard for the entire duration but still advanced with a very healthy 500,000 in the end.
Instead, it was Rodolfo Dela Fuente who soared to the top of the chip counts after he burst the bubble. On the last table, Dela Fuente cold four-bet jammed pocket aces for a ton of big blinds and three-bettor Lukasz Jankowski called with kings only to get shown the bad news. Dela Fuente then three-bet called the four-bet shove of Taiwan's Cheng-Pin Hsu and remained ahead all the way with ace-king versus ace-queen to bag up 1,296,000.
The bubble burst at blinds of 5,000-10,000 / 10,000 and that means the restart of Day 2 in the money will roll back to at least that level. It appears to be very unlikely that any of the remaining flights will reach their money stage earlier, however.
South Korea's Seunghee Park had topped Day 1 the previous evening and carried over the momentum to advance with 1,219,000. He was joined among the six survivors by fellow countrymen Eunseok Choi (1,007,000) and San Kang (171,000). Jonald Garcia completes the line-up of those making it through with 482,000 in chips.

Notable casualties included Shenglai Zhang, Aj Acdal, David Erquiaga, Dmitrii Belikov, Rudy Edenata and Ronald Haverkamp. They all had the chance to jump into Flight C which kicked off at 2 p.m. local time, some of which then successfully made the cut to join the Flight B survivors.
