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.

Collopy:
Francis:

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.

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.

The players have returned to their seats, and the dealers are sending out the cards.
It took about 20-minutes after returning from the break, for some fireworks to occur on both tables.
On Table 6, Daniel Spence opened from the button to 13,000 before Milan Gurung raised to 53,000 in chips. Spence thought for a minute before making the call, as the was spread out on the flop. Milan didn’t slow down, throwing out a continuation bet of 55,000, before met with an instant all-in for 330,000 from Spence. He thought for a moment, before mucking his hand.
On Table 9, Andrew Nguyen opened to 12,500 from under the gun, before Bawod Hyunshik Yun raised to 30,000 from the cut-off. Nguyen leaned forward in his chair, eyeing of his own stack, contemplating his next move. He pulled out a stack of 5,000-chips totalling 100,000 and looked like betting them, before announcing all in, for around 400,000 in chips. Yun then waited a minute, before making the call, as both players tabled their cards.
Yun:
Nguyen:
Board:
Yun flopped a set and looked in great shape, even though Nguyen had outs to a straight. The turn and river were no help, as Yun double fist-pumped to himself, scooping in the big pot.
