Gerardo Lubas III
Hernan Villa check-raised the 9 ♥️ 4 ♥️ 4 ♣️ flop from 50,000 to 160,000 and he then folded when Hayato Kitajima reraised big.
Shortly after, Juden Francisco had all but 10,000 chips in preflop with Q ♣️ J ♥️ against the A ♥️ 3 ♥️ of Kitajima. Both flopped a pair and Francisco held to stay in contention.
Gerardo Lubas III then busted to John Matsuda to bring the field down to the last 19, one more to break a table.
