From under the gun, James Dela Cruz bet the 9♣8♠4♦7♣ turn for 26,000 and Jonard Arcilla called on the button. They checked the J♥ on the river and Dela Cruz tabled his A♦9♦ for a pair of nines, which Arcilla had beat holding the A♥J♠.
Patrick Clarke had previously won a big pot off Terry Gonzaga and it seemed only fitting that he was to attempt the final blow as well on a flop of 4♦3♣2♣ when Gonzaga jammed for the last 45,000. Clarke called and Benhur Ybarsabal called all-in for even less than that, too.
Benhur Ybarsabal: A♦A♠ 
Terry Gonzaga: 3♦3♥
Patrick Clarke: K♣J♣
The 4♣ turn paired the board and Gonzaga improved to treys full of fours. Ybarsabal had some outs but missed on the 8♣ river to bow out.
Jonard Arcilla raised to 6,000 and Oleg Mordassov three-bet to 27,500 for more than a third of his short stack. Edilberto Gopez then four-bet big to 300,000 for Arcilla to fold. Mordassov eventually called all-in for 74,500.
Oleg Mordassov: J♣J♦
Edilberto Gopez: A♦K♥
The flip went to Mordassov on the 8♠6♠2♠7♣9♦ board for the Swiss player to double.
Level: 23
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 3,000
Upon completion of the second level of the day, the initial 47 Day 1 survivors have been culled down to the last 41 hopefuls and they are now on the first scheduled 15-minute break. The T-100 chips are raced off during that time.
Nikolas Rivera squeezed to 25,000 out of the small blind and Renato Villanueva called to see a flop of 10♣8♣7♥, on which the former's bet of 12,500 was called. Both then checked the K♦ turn and Q♣ river for Rivera to expose the J♥10♥. The pair of tens was enough to win the pot.
The action started with a raise to 5,000 by Jannodin Riga and Alex Chong called, Christian Cloutier then three-bet to 20,000 for both opponents to call.
That led a trio to the 9♦8♦5♥ flop on which it checked to Cloutier, who bet 22,000. Riga then check-raised all-in for 155,000 to force out Chong while Cloutier briefly counted his stack. Several seconds passed before the Canadian made the call.
Christian Cloutier: J♠J♥
Jannodin Riga: A♦J♦
The 2♣ turn brought no flush and no diamond followed thereafter either, but the A♣ river spelled the end for Cloutier.
"I think he covers," the Canadian said without any emotions after the river beat and it was indeed confirmed to end his run on the final five tables.
Lukasz Jankowski silently grabbed his belongings and walked away from the table while his chips were sent over to AJ Acdal. All the cards were still exposed with Jankowski's Q♦Q♥ having flopped top set on a board that eventually ran out Q♠6♥3♠7♥K♦. However, Acdal's 5♦4♠ turned the nut straight and that spelled the end for Jankowski.
The new big stack then also aimed to knock out Anton Del Rosario but the latter survived on the river.
A short-stacked Andrew De Ocampo was all-in and at risk preflop out of the small blind against Seung Hyun Han in the cutoff.
Andrew De Ocampo: 9♦9♠
Seung Hyun Han: Q♦Q♠
The A♠5♣2♥J♠J♣ runout provided no help to De Ocampo and he bowed out in 44th place.
Raymond Gomez tangled with Simon Isback when the latter checked behind rather tight on the A♦10♠6♣6♥8♠ board seemingly fearing pocket aces. Gomez only showed ace-jack and Isback won the bigger pot with the 10♣10♦ for tens full of sixes.
At a neighbouring table, Seunghee Park was knocked out by Terry Gonzaga who jumped back above the average,
