The last hand of Raymond Wu's night began when David Steicke opened it up to 5,100 from early position. Sammy Huang made the call on his direct left and then it was on Raymond Wu in the small blind. Wu three-bet to 16,500 and Steicke got out of the way, while Huang made the call.
Flop:
On the flop, Wu led for 16,500 and Huang popped it to 40,000. This was right around Wu's whole stack at this point and he stuffed his whole stack in. Huang obliged with a few chips extra and the two players turned their hands over.

A great chance for Wu to double-up came to a crashing halt as a hit the turn. The on the river changed nothing and Wu left the table a little disgruntled. With that, Celina Lin is left waving the flag for PokerStars.
Adam Monaghan looked across to the nearby table and held up his few remaining chips.
“Chris! Look!” exclaimed Monaghan with barely 1,500 in change. Chris Edgar gave a “thumbs up” in reply, but perhaps that could be the trigger for an epic comeback as Monaghan won the next pot to more than quadruple up.
He found himself with against the of David Steicke, which held through the board of .
Monaghan is back to 8,000 and has a pulse once again.
Celina Lin just swung by our blogging desk to let us know of her unfortunate demise from the APPT Cebu Main Event.
Lin was within sight of the cash but ran her ace-king into the pocket aces of the giant-killing Jacky Wang. Lin told us that a jack and queen appeared on the board to give her hope with a possible four-outer on the river, but it wasn’t to be.
“Oh well, time to relax!” sighed Lin as she departed the poker room.
And with that, there are no more Team PokerStars Pros remaining in the tournament.
Carter Gill found a very nice double up just prior to the break. He was all in for 26,500 with pocket jacks and found action from a player in the blinds who called with pocket tens. The board ran out to see Gill double up.
Australia's Michael Kanaan and Hong Kong based Aussie David Steicke have both had plenty of success across Australasia and are both looking to add to their resumes here in Cebu. Right now they sit at the same table and both have fairly healthy stacks.
We recently caught a hand between the two players whereby the action started with Steicke opening it up to 5,600. Kanaan made the call from the big blind and the two players watched as three cards were spread across the felt.
Flop:
On the flop, Kanaan checked and Steicke threw out 5,600. This is when Kanaan put in the check-raise to 14,000. It was enough to quickly send Steicke's cards into the muck.
Currently 41 players remain here in the APPT Cebu Main Event. While we are still quite far off the money bubble bursting (top 28 players paid), the play is noticeably slowing up. Just over a level and half though and it will be all over for the day regardless
David Steicke opened with a raise to 5,100 before Sammy Huang popped it to 11,700 next to speak. The table folded around and Steicke tossed out a call to see the flop fall.
Steicke checked and Huang moved a curiously small bet of 7,900 into the middle. Steicke wasn’t sure what to make of it as he let his hand go.
