The tables 1-11 continue playing at new blinds of 400/800 and a running ante of 100, while the tables 18 and higher have been sent into their 75-minute dinner break. During that time, the T-25 chips will get raced off and then the roles will switch to give everyone else the chance to take advantage of the free buffet.
In case you are wondering what the tables 12 to 17 are doing, those are reserved for the ongoing cash game action.
The turn showed and Luke Walsh bet 5,800 from the under-the-gun position, which Declan McNamara called in the cutoff with some 14,000 behind. Walsh quickly shoved the on the river and McNamara gave it 15 seconds before splashing in his remaining chips.
Walsh rolled over the for a full house and McNamara mucked .
"Nice hand, I would not have gotten you out of the hand anyways how the board was," McNamara shrugged and Walsh nodded.
The very next hand, Walsh was barely done stacking, he was in the big blind and faced Dex de Jong on the button. Again they built a big pot throughout a boars of and Walsh moved all in on the river with 40,000 in the middle. Only 20,000 were behind for de Jong and he called it off after some consideration, was shown the by Walsh and sent his into the muck.
Walsh, who already had a decent stack before those two hands, essentially doubled that to rise to the top of the leader board.

After a raise to 1,300 by Acsinte and a call by Dan Murariu on the button, Ivan Tononi jammed the small blind for 16,325. Sven “Svennoss” Edelenbosch in the big blind had a decision to make but folded and Acsinte also jammed to force out Murariu.
