Edgar Asehan

There are only a few Filipino that played early for today. and only 37 players remain for day 2.

Edgar Played early and still has a healthy stack which proves how determined he is.

Luck is his opponent. as with Master Poker Bluff Master. Edgar Survived Day 2 and was on his way to reaching the final table until his opponent hit a runner flush in all-in on the flop situation where he had the nut straight. 

But he took that loss and went to Okada and ended 3rd place on the 800k.
