Break It Down
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
The players are now on another break. We had an elimination on the final hand before the break, and will get that up in a few moments.
Kevin Zhang Eliminated in 12th Place (PHP 247,000)
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
On the last hand before the break, Jim Collopy opened for 10,000 from the cutoff. It folded to Kevin Zhang in the small blind, and after 30 seconds or so of thought, he moved all in for his last 120,000. Jae Kyung Sim got out of the way in the big blind, and Collopy rechecked his hole cards, before tossing chips into the middle for the call.
Collopy: 
Zhang: 
Zhang was dominated going to the flop, but short of flopping a seven, it was about as good as Zhang could ask for, coming down 
. Both players had a diamond, but Zhang had the nut flush draw. The 
on the turn also brought chop outs for Zhang, but the river brought the 
.
Zhang will have to settle for just under 250,000 Philippine Pesos, while Collopy is once again pushing 700k.

Sim Doubles Through Collopy
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
It appears that Jim Collopy is human after all. After winning virtually every big pot that he's entered today, Collopy has finally lost one, after doubling up short stack Jae Kyung Sim.
Action started with Collopy making it 10,000 to go from the cutoff. Sim defended his big blind, and the flop came down 
. Sim checked to Collopy, who fired out 11,000. Sim responded by moving all in for his last 73,000 total, and it was back to Collopy. He asked for a count, then asked the dealer to spread the pot, while he tanked for a couple minutes. Collopy was pained by the decision, and eventually said "alright", delayed a few moments, then slid the chips in for the call.
Collopy: 
Sim: 
Sim's top pair was ahead of Collopy's middle pair, and the 
on the turn sealed the hand for Sim. The meaningless river was the 
, and after winning the hand, Sim jumped up to 190,000, while Collopy is still our overwhelming chip leader with 590,000.

Daniel Francis Eliminated in 13th Place (PHP 176,000)
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
The action started with Jim Collopy opening to 11,000 from the cut-off, before being met with an all-in for 121,000 from Daniel Francis on the big blind.
“How much do you have? Just count the yellow chips for me,” asked Collopy.
The dealer ended up counting all the chips, and Collopy grabbed a stack of 5,000 chips and placed them into the middle, making the call.
Collopy: 
Francis: 
Board: 
Francis held onto his lead after the dealer produced the flop and turn, but the ten on the river gave Collopy a gut-shot straight, sending Francis to the rail.

Shaun Conning Eliminated in 14th Place (PHP 176,000)
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Daniel Spence opened the action to 11,000, and it folded to Shaun Conning in the small blind. He moved all in for his last 62,000, and when it got back to Spence, he quickly called.
Spence:
Conning:
Spence had a good pocket pair, but Conning had him just barely one upped. The flop came 
, and Conning was still in front. This stayed true on the turn, the , but....well, you read the title, so you know what happened on fifth street.
River:
Conning took the tough beat in stride, shaking hands with some of the players before making his way to the exits. After that hand, Spence is back up to 340,000.

Sim Doubles
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
The table folded around to Jae Kyung Sim on the cut-off, who moved all in for his remaining 43,500 in chips. Daniel Spence folded on the button, before Jim Collopy looked down at his cards from the small blind, asked for a rough count, and jammed his infinite chip-stack to the middle, scaring off Shaun Conning in the big blind.
Sim:
Collopy: 
Board: 
Luckily for Sim, he flopped a higher pair, and held onto the lead, to move up to 100,000 in chips.

Jose Medina Eliminated in 15th Place (PHP 176,000)
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We caught up with the action on the flop, which read 
. Andrew Nguyen fired out 7,500, and his lone opponent, Jose Medina, raised it up to 15,500. Nguyen thought for only about 30 seconds before making it 29,000 to go, and it was back to Medina. He only thought for about 10 seconds before shoving all in for his last 100,000, and Nguyen beat him into the pot. Medina did not look happy to see Nguyen call so quickly, and when the cards were flipped, we saw why.
Medina: 
Nguyen: 
Medina got caught shoving light as Nguyen had flopped the second nuts. Medina would need runner runner to survive, but the board completed 
. Medina will have to settle for 15th, while Nguyen is now one of our leaders with 360,000.
