Kirby Te Eliminated in 8th Place (US $26,600)
The only Filipino in the final table was eliminated through a big hand that cost him 90% of his chips and then being forced to go all-in with Qh-5h vs A-T, with A-T making a full house.
The big hand came when Terrence Chan raised Pre-flop and Kirby called. The flop was Kc-7d-9d. Terrence bet, Kirby Raised, and Terrence went all-in, which Kibry quickly called with Bottom set, showing pocket 7′s. Terrence showed his big draw with Qd-Jd. With the crowd rooting for Kibry shouting “Pair the board!”, a heartbreaking 10 of diamonds came on the turn, giving Terrence a flush.

KIRBY TE, LAST FILIPINO STANDING, REPRESENTS THE METRO DAVAO IN PAGCOR CUP FINAL TABLE!
It is now the final table here at the PAGCOR Chairman’s Cup!
The chip leader is Choon Lim. He currently has 1,886,000 in chips. Terrence Chan, Pokerstars Pro player, is also in the final 9.

No all-star game, but still a lot of fun
In a game whose crème de la crème is in constant flux, the cast of characters on the National Heads-Up Poker Championship remains mostly the same. Each year, the event seems to move a little further away from the all-star game it was once hailed as and the championship it claims to be and a little closer to pure spectacle.

Barnum’s version of professional poker. It’s still fun to speculate about though, isn’t it?

After watching Lederer execute a preliminary “run,” it became glaringly apparent to Seed that he was on the losing end of this wager, and he promptly paid off the five grand.
