The remaining 12 players are now on a quick 10-minute break and will return to action momentarily.
PokerNews missed the actual hand, but Greg Raymer recounted the following:
Richard Herbert moved all in preflop for around 60,000 from under-the-gun and Raymer made the call, but then Chris Conrad moved all into his left for 160,000. Raymer called that as well to put both players at risk and the cards were tabled.
Richard Herbert: XxXx
Chris Conrad: A♦Q♦
Greg Raymer: J♠J♣
Neither Herbert nor Conrad connected with the board and Raymer's pocket jacks held to eliminate both players in the massive pot. He is now sitting at over 600,000 and the dominant chip leader.

Matt Chang moved all in preflop and was snap-called by Matt Riebel to put him at risk.
Matt Chang: Q♠9♥
Matt Riebel: K♥K♦
Riebel was way ahead with his pocket kings, and only further improved when a king came right in the window of the K♣10♥5♠ flop, but it also gave Change a gutshot straight draw. The A♥ on the turn didn't change anything, but the J♥ on the river sure did as it gave Chang the straight for the win.
Riebel was in shock as all but 3,000 of his chips were shipped over to Chang and he was left with crumbs.
He then got it all in the very next hand with ace-king against Ryan Brown's ace-queen but Brown hit a backdoor flush to knock Reibel out ouf the tournament.

On a heads-up turn of Q♠8♦2♣K♠, Matt Riebel led out for a pot-sized bet of 23,000 and Joseph Crowley went into the tank before he made the call to see the river fall the 4♠.
Both players quickly checked and Riebel flipped over A♣10♦ for ace-high while Crowley tabled Q♣J♥ for a pair of jacks!
"ARGHH! I thought for sure you were going to fold that on the turn! Your cards are supposed to go straight into the muck and the chips go to me!"
Riebel was beside himself as the pot was pushed over to Crowley.
