No dinner break was announced yet at the start of the day as tournament director Christian Scalzi first wanted to see how things would go. It's clear that there is need for a dinner break today, as still 12 players remain and the stacks are deep. It's therefor decided that a 1-hour dinner break will start at the end of this level (in a little over an hour).
