Off to Dinner
Niveau 6
: 300/500, 500 ante
The seniors are now on a 75-minute dinner break; play resumes with Level 7 when the field comes back.
Chip Leaders from Early Levels Still in Good Shape
Niveau 6
: 300/500, 500 ante
Derrick Rees and Michael Mischkot have kept hold of early-boosted stacks through levels 5 and 6.
Barry Greenstein, over in the comparatively petite Miranda Room, has been keeping afloat on or around the 20,000 mark, just recently taking a small pot from two opponents (one in and one out of position) by betting 2,000 on a 
flop.
Antoine 'TNT' Nasr, with more than three times his starting stack pre dinner break was noticed regaling his table with a rap of his own creation, something that may be a first in a Seniors event.

Kroon Can't Fade Kite
Niveau 6
: 300/500, 500 ante
Walan Kite and deep-stacked Mark Kroon are going back and forth with some friendly banter at their Amazon Room table, and Kroon is near the top of the chip leaderboard despite being on the wrong end of a bit of turn and river magic for Kite.
Kroon, on the cutoff, bet 1600 into Kite on the small blind, with the flop reading 
. Kite called, and the turn came the 
. The action checked through to the river, where Kite fired off a value bet and got the call from Kroon.
Kite turned over 
for a runner-runner full house, and Kroon's 
was no good.

Hoyng Nears Six Figures
Niveau 6
: 300/500, 500 ante
Karen Hoyng has consolidated her chip lead at table 30 (and possibly in the whole Silver Section) by eliminating a player with a queens vs. ace-king preflop all-in matchup. Betting started with Hoyng under the gun, who made it 2,500 to play. A player in mid position called, then saw Seat 2 move in for 13,700 and Hoyng make the call, with plenty left behind to cover the middle caller. After a short think, he folded, and it was 
vs. 
all the way to the river.
There was a heart flush draw sweat on the turn: 
, but the 
river eliminated her opponent and boosted Hoyng's stack to just under 94,000.

Jennings Doubles through Donen
Niveau 6
: 300/500, 500 ante
Drew Donen, resplendent in shimmering green and blue sequins, had been steadily building all day, but has taken a hit having flopped two pair against the straight/flush combo draw of Cheryl Jennings.
With a multiway pot of a few thousand built already preflop, the 
flop was checked to Donen who fired 1,100. Over to Jennings, who moved the rest of her stack - 14,400 total - across the line. It only took a moment for Donen to announce, "I call," and turn over 
for top and bottom pair. Jennings showed down 
for the diamond flush draw and bottom end straight draw.
Straight away she hit a fifth diamond with the 
on the turn, and the 
river was no house-up card for Donen.
