Dinner Break
The players will now be taking a dinner break. After a discussion with players it seems that a compromise was reached and we'll be coming back at 10:30pm local time which is around 75 minutes from now. Plenty of time to hit the Poker Kitchen!
Billirakis Rolled Up
Steve Billirakis was the bring-in and Joe Cassidy completed. Nikolay Evdakov raised and both Billirakis and Cassidy made the call. Cassidy paired and fired a double bet on fourth but both Evdakov and Billirakis made the call.
Billirakis' board pair on fifth and he led out. Cassidy has seen enough but Evdakov called bets on fifth, sixth and seventh.
Billirakis: (X-X) / 
(X)
Cassidy: (X-X) / 
Evdakov: (X-X) / 
(X)
Billirakis revealed 
for rolled up fours that improved to a full house which was too good for Evdakov as his cards hit the muck. Evdakov slips to 460,000 with Billirakis up to 700,000.

Cassidy Again

/ (X)
Mizrachi: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Joe Cassidy completed third street and was called by Michael Mizrachi and the bring-in, Steve Billirakis. Billirakis bailed out on fourth street when Mizrachi bet the lead. Cassidy stuck around to fifth street, where his king was the high card. He bet fifth and sixth, with the Grinder calling each time.
Both players checked the river. Mizrachi opened 
in the hole for a pair of jacks. Cassidy turned over 
for two small pair. Those two pair stood tall enough to win the pot.
Mizrachi is down to 400,000. Cassidy has about 600,000.
Vladimir Schmelev Eliminated in 7th Place ($55,991)
Four players called the bring-in of Nikolay Evdakov, before Men Nguyen led out with a bet on fourth street. Steve Billirakis folded before Vladimir Schmelev announced a raise. Evdakov folded as did Brandon Adams. Back on Nguyen and he re-raised to put Schmelev all in.
Evdakov: (X-X) / 
Adams: (X-X) / 
Nguyen: 
/ 
Billirakis: (X-X) / 
Schmelev: /
Nguyen was in front with his pair of eights as the boards ran out as follows:
Nguyen: / 
/
Schmelev: / / 
Both players made two pair on sixth with Nguyen's aces and eights good to take it down and eliminate Schmelev from the tournament in 7th place for $55,991 in prize money.
Nguyen Straightens Out Schmelev
Nguyen: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Schmelev: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Brandon Adams was the player who completed the bet on third street, but he quickly got out of the way as Men Nguyen raised and Vladimir Schmelev re-raised. Nguyen called to fourth street.
Schmelev checked to the aggressive Nguyen, then raise after Nguyen bet. Nguyen called that bet, and called again on fifth and sixth streets. At the river, Schmelev made one last bet. Nguyen raised, then slammed over his cards one at a time after Schmelev called: 
for a king-high straight.
Schmelev is the short stack again, down to 115,000. Nguyen is up to 1,150,000.
