Steve Friedlander
The first six hands after play recommenced consisted of three raise-and-takes and three walks.
It looks like everyone's post-dinner plan is to ease back into a rhythm and see what develops.
Also, Steve Friedlander came back from the break wearing a different hat, ditching his Akubra hat for a Roger Federer Nike baseball hat.

Annette Obrestad's exit from the main event sparked a bit of a discussion on the TwoPlusTwo Forums during the break, and Steve Friedlander, aka 'renodoc' on TwoPlusTwo, offered his two cents:

Steve Friedlander
Kosta Varoxis used Big Slick as a remedy for Steve Friedlander's pocket sevens and it worked like a charm.
Frederik Jensen opened the pot with a raise to 95,000 from under-the-gun. Varoxis called, as did Peter Jetten before the action made its way around to Friedlander on the button who reraised all in for 615,000 and then walked away from the table. Jensen folded and when the action returned to Varoxis, he four-bet all in over the top prompting Jetten to get out of the way as well:
Friedlander:
Varoxis:
By the turn, the board had filled out and Friedlander turned to the dealer and said, "I'd like to use my one-time."
The river blanked, , and Varoxis took down the pot with trip kings to improve to 2,275,000 in chips.

We just witnessed back-to-back hands in which the small blind three-bet over the top of a button raise.
In the first, Sorel Mizzi opened to 95,000 on the button and Tyron Krost popped it up to 300,000. Frederik Jensen folded his big blind, and Mizzi laid down as well.
One hand later, Krost opened with a raise to 100,000 on the button and Jensen kicked it up to 295,000. Kosta Varoxis laid down his big and Krost surrendered too.
