Lester Edoc and Tom Verbruggen
At almost the same time on both outer tables, two players were eliminated to bring the field down to the last 24 players upon completion of level 12.
Moses Saquing had nursed a short stack for an extended period and busted, and he was followed to the rail by Tom Verbruggen in a massive cooler.
Verbruggen opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Viet An Nguyen called. Lester Edoc three-bet to 300,000 in the big blind and Verbruggen then jammed for around 1.6 million.
Nguyen folded and Edoc snapped it off.
Tom Verbruggen: K ♦️ K ♥️
Lester Edoc: A ♣️ A ♦️
The 8 ♦️ 5 ♥️ 2 ♠️ J ♣️ Q ♠️ board ended the run of Verbruggen in 25th place for PHP 223,500.
