Timur Margolin opened early and Louise Butler three-bet all in on the cutoff. With no other takers, they turned over their cards and Butler was the dominant favorite.
Louise Butler: 
Timur Margolin: 
The flop came 
and Butler only had two live cards to hit. The 
wasn't one of them and it took away any runner-runner possibilities for Butler. The 
river saw the pot go to Margolin and Butler made her way to the payouts desk.
It was all in preflop between Richard Dubini and Israel Hoke, and though Hoke was the shorter stack, there was little difference and Dubini would be in some trouble if he lost the hand.
Richard Dubini: 
Israel Hoke: 
It was a 
flop and Hoke needed an eight to win or running straight cards for a chop. The turn brought the and it was only an eight for Hoke at this point. The 
river filled up Dubini and sent Hoke to the rail.
Rex Clinkscales limped in from the small blind and Kenny Hallaert checked from the big. They went heads-up to the 
flop and Clinkscales checked.
Hallaert bet 4,000 and Clinkscales called. The turn was the and Clinkscales checked to Hallaert who bet 15,000. Clinkscales check-raised all in and Hallaert nearly beat him into the pot for his last 68,000 turning over 
.
Clinkscales was drawing dead holding 
and the meaningless 
completed the board to earn Hallaert the double-up.
Short stack Mark Schluter got his last 26,500 chips in with against John Pannucci's 
. The flop ran out 
and Schluter will live on, whilst Pannucci had to take the hit.

The 70 players left in the field have gone for a 60-minute dinner break.
Two players were on the turn, Timur Margolin and Raphael Poujade. The board read 
and Margolin checked to Poujade, who bet 25,000 into a roughly 75,000 pot. Margolin called.
The turn was the 
and Margolin checked again. Poujade made it 45,000 to get to showdown and had 155,000 behind. Margolin took a couple of minutes before he decided to set Poujade all-in. It looked like a difficult decision for Poujade who tanked for a minute or so before reluctantly making a fold.
