2013 PokerStars.net APPT Cebu Day 3: Jim Collopy Leads Final Table
After just six levels of play on Day 3, the final table of the 2013 Pokerstars.net APPT Cebu Main Event is set with Jim Collopy leading the way at the Waterfront Airport Casino and Hotel. Collopy, a highly-regarded online player, is well positioned to win the top prize of PHP 3,948,000 ($96,646) and claim his second major live title of the year after winning his first World Series of Poker bracelet in Australia last month.
Day 3 began with 25 players, and the money bubble was looming as only the top 20 finishers would secure a payday. The action was conservative from the get-go and it took more than three hours to burst the money bubble. Ivan Tan received the unfortunate honor of bubble boy after he moved in with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}and was called by Milan Gurung who had {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The {Q-Clubs} would come on the river to send Tan to the rail.
Although there was a slight stall in action at several points, there were times when eliminations occurred in a flurry. Among those who fell just shy of the final table were Christian Friedrich (20th), Ying Zhao (18th), Lingling Teng (16th), Daniel Francis (13th), Kevin Zhang (12th), Milan Gurung (11th) and Andrei Kaigorodtcev (10th).
