Edwin Dela Cruz Chips Up

On the business end of a heads-up pot to the turn, Dai Van Nguyen checks out of the big blind. Edwin Dela Cruz makes it 60,000 to go from an early position, which represents two third of the stack of his opponent.

That gets through as the Filipino rakes in the pot. He is one of several countrymen still in contention with playable stacks.

David Erquiaga – 275,000
Edwin Dela Cruz – 250,000
Dai Van Nguyen – 90,000
Florencio Campomanes – 90,000
