The remaining 1,550 players have been sent on a 75-minute dinner break. They will return to blinds of 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante.
Preflop action folded to Dhruvin Kothari in late position who raised to 16,000. Sean Balfour then went all in for 59,000 from the hijack. Kothari called.
Sean Balfour: K♦K♠
Dhruvin Kothari: 3♠5♠
The flop was 2♣Q♦10♦, keeping Balfour well in the lead. The 4♦ came on the turn, giving Kothari a straight draw.
"Wait wait wait!" yelled Balfour to the dealer. The river came 5♥, doubling up Balfour.
On the very next hand, Balfour faced a raise to 16,000 from a player in middle position and a call from Korthari. Balfour went all in for 135,000, and Kothari called.
Sean Balfour: A♣K♦
Dhruvin Kothari: 8♣8♦
The flop came 9♣J♦7♣. Balfour paired up when the A♥ hit on the turn, but the 8♥ river gave Kothari the win and sent Balfour out.

Action began preflop with a raise of 17,000 from the early position player. Both Kurt Smithland on the button, and the big blind player made the call. The board ran out 10♥Q♥7♦, as big blind checked to the raiser. The initial raiser led out for 20,000, having Smithland jam all in for 175,000. Both players folded with Smithland taking the pot.
Fresh off his previous win, it folded around to Smithland in the cutoff. He raised to 16,000 quickly facing a three bet from the Gabe Ramos in the big blind for 65,000. Smithland resigned folding his hand as Ramos scooped this pot.

A player opened to 13,000 from early position only to see the player one seat over in middle position three-bet to 39,000. Action folded around to Kaghu Gudala on the button who moved his entire stack into the middle. The original raiser reluctantly folded while, after some thought, the middle position player committed the rest of their stack to put themselves at risk.
Middle Position Player: A♠K♠
Raghu Gudala: A♣Q♠
Though at risk, the middle position player was in a good spot to score a full double just before the dinner break. It was not to be, however, after the board ran out 6♠10♦Q♣9♣3♠ to send a large pot over to Gudala, who has managed to amass a huge stack over the course of the day.

First position put all of his chips in the pot and it folded around to Kevin Artman in the big blind who had a very short stack and opted to call.
Kevin Artman: K♥J♣
First position player: A♣J♥
When the board ran out 9♦Q♥K♦5♦6♣, Artman doubled to stay alive.
Elsewhere Humberto Brenes sat with a healthy stack of 265,000.

Picking up the action on the turn, Cole Ferraro in middle position was involved in a hand with a player in the big blind. With the board reading Q♥2♦4♣8♠ the big blind checked and Ferraro bet out 25,000 into a pot of roughly 40,000. That bet was not enough to shed his opponent, who called.
The big blind checked once again after the 7♦ river and, after some deliberation, Ferraro checked back. The big blind tabled 10♥8♦ for second pair, sufficiently strong enough to scoop the pot and put a dent in Ferraro's stack.

Earlier today a new player sat down next to Jamie Gold. There was a minimum raise and six players went to the flop including Gold in the big blind and the new player in the small blind.
The flop came Jx10x3x and it was checked to Gold who bet 4,000 into a 5,000 pot. Everyone folded to the new player in the small blind who looked at Gold and said "What do you want me to do? I'll do anything you want".
Gold looked at him and said, "ok so go all in".
The small blind quickly shoved his brand new 40,000 stack into the middle and requested that he be able to film it for his blog to which Gold agreed.
Small Blind Player: KxQx
Jamie Gold: J♠10♠
The turn and river were blanks and Gold doubled his stack.
