With 140 of 159 players remaining, the tournament is going on another 15-minute brak.
With 800 chips each invested on the 
, a trio of players headed to the 
turn and Vikrant Gupta bet 2,200. Only Teresa-Ann Natoli called, while Manny Stavropoulos got out of the way.
Natoli then bet the 
river for 1,900 and Gupta was a non-believer. Natoli showed 
and Gupta won the pot with 
for the same pair and better kicker.
The same table also features Maria McAlpin and Paul-Francois Tedeschi.
"Who got my buddy?" said Najeem Ajez, who had just been moved to a new table to balance the tournament.
His buddy was Graeme "Kiwi" Putt whose seat Ajez had been moved into. The table pointed at table big stack Quan Zhou.
"You're in big trouble," said Ajez.
The table explained that Putt's had run into the 
of Zhou for the New Zealander's last 13,000 chips.
On the 
turn, Zachary Tay in the small blind bet 8,500 and Aymon Hata called in the cutoff. The 
river was checked through and Tay was first to show, but opted to muck instead to forfeit the pot.
Tay forfeited more than that soon after, as his seat was open and the remaining chips had suddenly been moved to Karl Symonds in the two seat. Symonds was then involved in a three-way pot to the 
turn, on which Mihai Barbu had bet and was called by Michael Gathy and Symonds. The on the river brought a bet of 8,000 by Barbu and both opponents mucked, Barbu flashed 
for a set and raked in the pot.
On a 
board Graeme Putt checked and his opponent bet 2,600. Putt called and the Australian poker Hall of Fame member checked the river.
His opponent bet 3,700 and Putt called.
His opponent turned over 
for a rivered straight.
"What the f*ck. Are you seeing this sh*t?" mouthed Putt as he mucked his hand.
On the three-way flop of 
, Quan Zhou bet and was called only by Dzmitry Urbanovich. The duo checked through the turn and Zhou bet the 
river for 1,600. Urbanovich called and the 
of Zhou won the pot.
What started promising with a raise to 700 and four callers ended rather swiftly over on table 47. The flop showed 
and a short-stacked Kylea Trewin bet 1,300 in the small blind. That ended up winning the pot, as Jerry Wong and Petre Linton were also among those to send their cards into the muck.
Table captain for now is Damian Oklobzija with more than three times the starting stack.
