Joseph Lebrun opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Michael Huber three-bet jammed in the small blind with a stack of 1,500,000. Kevin Martin then went into the tank from the big blind before re-shoving a shortly smaller stack and Lebrun folded.
Kevin Martin: A♠Q♠
Michael Huber: 10♠10♥
Martin took a big lead on the flop of Q♥K♠8♣ and nothing changed on the 5♣2♦ runout to earn the GGPoker ambassador a double.
Hao Chuang was all in and at risk for around 1,000,000 against Jacopo Achille to his left.
Hao Chuang: Q♥Q♣
Jacopo Achille: A♠9♣
The flop landed A♣3♣9♦ and Chuang screamed "oh, shit!" as he saw he had been out-flopped before the the A♦ turn improved Achille to aces full to have Chuang drawing dead before the K♣ river.
Michael Huber moved all in for 585,000 under the gun and Moshe Refaelowitz called in the big blind.
Michael Huber: K♣6♥
Moshe Refaelowitz: 7♥3♥
The 5♥4♥2♣ flop gave Refaelowitz straight and flush draws, but the 9♠ turn and J♣ river bricked out and Huber scored the double.
"Too many outs," someone observed. "Six-of-hearts blocker."
Stephane Guelpa raised to 300,000 from middle position and found a caller in the small blind along with Wellington Araujo in the big blind before seeing the flop come down 10♠6♦K♦.
All three players checked through to see the turn bring the 10♥.
The small blind and Araujo checked the action over to Guelpa who tossed out a single 500,000 denomination chip. The small blind sent his cards into the muck but Araujo made the call to see the 2♠ land on the river.
Araujo checked once more and with action on Guelpa, he paused very briefly before announcing all-in.
Araujo entered a short tank but would end up deciding to preserve his tournament life with a fold, sending the pot in Guelpa's direction.
The remaining 25 players have been sent on a 60-minute dinner break.
Play will resume at approximately 7:25 p.m. local time.

“The WSOP Main Event bracelet is considered the richest trophy in sports, and our first Main Event bracelet for WSOP Paradise puts a fun spin on the trophy’s legacy,” said WSOP Vice President Gregory Chochon. “This is the World Series of Poker, we’re global and need a proper World Championship trophy to represent the newest home we’ve added to the series.

Niveau: 30
Blinds: 100,000/200,000
Ante: 200,000
Jacopo Achille raised to 400,000 from early position and faced an almost all-in three-bet from Kevin Martin in the small blind to 3,700,000, leaving himself just 100,000 behind. The big blind folded and with action back on Achille, he jammed to get the rest of Martin's chips in. Martin didn't seem happy but did call off his last 100,000 to put himself at risk and set up a runout.
Kevin Martin: K♠J♥
Jacopo Achille: A♣A♦
Martin get the bad news that he'd run into aces and politely requested his "one time" before seeing the flop come Q♣4♦2♠. The 10♣ turn made things interesting with the open-ended straight draw but when the board completed with the 3♦, Martin stood from his chair to make his exit from the tournament area.
