Players are now on a 40-minute dinner break. When they return, the players will play three more levels before bagging and tagging for the night. Also, registration and re-entry is now closed, which means we'll have official numbers for you sometime after the break.
Level: 5
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 500
The numbers are starting to come in, though the official prize pool has yet to be released. There is also talk of two players having late registered. With that said, right now the tournament clock says 34 players have entered the tournament, and of those nine have rebought.
Remember, in this tournament the players didn't have to bust to exercise their rebuy option. In those instances it essentially served as an add-on. Here's a look at the players who did rebuy:
It appears Andrew Pantling busted before the dinner break, while Aaron Lim fell in one of the first hands back after the break.

A short-stacked David Vamplew got his last 57,000 all in preflop holding the 
and he was racing against the 
of Australian Joel Feldman. The 
flop made things interesting as it gave Feldman top set and Vamplew a flush draw.
The 
turn actually gave Vamplew the flush, but Feldman could still win if the board paired on the river. Fortunately for Vamplew, that didn't happen as the harmless 
rolled off.

We missed the preflop action, but we do know that Russia's Ihar Soika was all in for his last 152,500 holding the 
and behind the 
of Kyle Cheong. The 
flop was no help to Soika, but the was as it paired his jack. However, he needed even more help in the form of either a jack or an ace on the river to stay alive. The dealer burned, put out the 
, and Soika hit the rail.

David Vamplew got his last 155,000 or so all in preflop holding the
