The players are going to fill their hungry bellies with free food so come back in an hour when they're back in their seats.
Chen Wenbin raised to 20,000 and Daniel Chutrov, who was seated to his immediate left, called. One player folded and Zoltan Boszormenyi squeezed all-in for 134,000. Wenbin reshoved and Chutrov went deep into the tank and looked set to call before folding; he later claimed to have held 
.
Wenbin's 
was flipping against the 
of Boszormenyi. The 
flop was good for those jacks, but Wenbin still said:
"Hold the backdoor!"
The dealer put the 
onto the turn amidst groans from the table as he hadn't held the backdoor" because Boszormenyi could now hit a flush. The river was black but the wrong suit, the 
leaving Wenbin's hand as best and sending Boszormenyi for an early lunch.

We raced to Table 3 when we heard some commotion and discovered Brian Taylor all-in for more than 200,000 chips and Daniel Chutrov calling. Chutrov's 
was a sold enough hand for such a situation, but the entire table were astonished to see taylor's holding, the lowly 
.
The "Big Slick" of Chutrov remained the best hand as the board ran 
and a disappointed Taylor stormed out of the tournament area, leaving Chutrov with over 450,000 chips.

Ninib Messo was under the gun with only 71,000 chips and he committed these to the pot with an all-in bet. The players folded in turn to Damian Porebski on the button and after almost 60-seconds of weighing up his options, Porebski called. Both blinds passed and the cards of the active players revealed.
Messo showed 
and Porebski the 
.
"OK, make it quick," said Porebski as the dealer got to work fanning the 
flop. The flop was followed by the turn and the river, doubling Messo and leaving Porebski with a still healthy 345,000.

Ramunas Granskas doubled through Babak Movazzafi and is back up past the 200,000 chip barrier.
As most of the hands are doing at the moment, the chip went into the middle preflop with Granskas holding the advantage with versus 
. Movazzafi began calling for a three when the flop fell 
but the turn was to pips off being the 
. Pleas for a three continued and went unheard as the improved Granskas to an unnecessary full house and he let out a loud "Yessssss!" and held onto the "s" to end up sounding much like a snake!

He may have started the day as the overwhelming chip leader but Daniel Chutrov is now in the thick of it with 170,000 chips.
Chutrov raised and then called when Zoltan Boszormenyi three-bet all-in for 93,500 in total. Boszormenyi turned over 
and was narrowly ahead of Chutrov's .
The 
flop gifted Chutrov outs to a flush draw in addition to his overcards, with the 
turn giving him more outs to a chopped pot. The was not one of that plethora of cards that would have helped his holding and Boszormenyi doubled though him.
