Samuel Schwarz
Almost half-way through level two, the field shows 54 players out of 61 entries remaining and the last casualty was Katsutoshi Watanabe from Japan. He got it in preflop with A ♦️ 7 ♦️ against the 9 ♥️ 9 ♦️ of Samuel Schwarz.
The 6 ♠️ 4 ♥️ 3 ♦️ 9 ♠️ 2 ♦️ board ended the run of the player from Japan, who can still re-enter until the start of level three in this flight.
Watanabe was replaced by Norway's Henrik Tollefsen, who is a resident of Manila and very frequent participant in the major local tournaments.
