Edgar Asehan

A short-stacked Joseph Magnotti was spotted raking in a double with K ♥️ Q ♥️ off Ben Hur Ybarsabal when he made top pair on the Q ♦️ J ♣️ 2 ♦️ 6 ♥️ 4 ♥️ runout.

Shortly after, Edgar Asehan three-bet jammed a very short stack and Lester Edoc called.

Edgar Asehan: A ♠️ 2 ♣️

Lester Edoc: 5 ♠️ 3 ♠️

The 8 ♣️ 6 ♠️ 2 ♥️ J ♠️ 9 ♣️ board was not without sweat but Asehan held on to double for 151,000 only.
