Dinner Break
We've reached the end of level 14, and players have taken off for their 60-minute break. Even though we made it down to 27 players just prior to the break coming, they've been sent on their way prior to redrawing for the final three tables. We anticipate that happening upon their return.
See you back about 7:55 p.m. local time when action resumes

Santoro Takes Care of Aleksa
Limit
Brian Aleksa was all in for his last 18,000 preflop with 
, and he seemed content to race against Michael Santoro's 
for double or nothing.
The dealer gave Aleksa nothing on a board of 
, and he can't do better than ace-high. Santoro's threes hold to earn him the elimination pot, working his stack up to 185,000 in the process.
He Wasn't Bluffing
Limit
Dwyte Pilgrim raised from under the gun, and Steven Kelly just called the two bets from the cutoff. The others folded, and the flop came 
. Pilgrim checked, Kelly bet, and Pilgrim called. The turn was the 
, and once again Pilgrim checked, Kelly bet, and Pilgrim called.
The river brought the . Pilgrim tossed out a bet. "Just in case you were bluffing," he said as he did. Kelly raised, then Pilgrim three-bet. Kelly's four-bet finally slowed Pilgrim down, and he just called, tabling 
for the rivered set. Kelly showed his cards -- 
-- he'd just cold-called Pilgrim's preflop raise, and turned a set himself.
The 21-year-old Kelly remains in the hunt for his second WSOP bracelet in a week (after winning Event #39 just a couple of nights ago.) He bumps up to 250,000 on that one. Pilgrim slips to 175,000.

Bell Rung
No-Limit
Chris Bell was all in before the flop with 
and behind Jonathan Tamayo's .
The board came 
, and Bell is out. Tamayo has 190,000 now.
The quick pace we saw yesterday has continued so far today as well -- just 30 remain.
Amendola Finds a Pair, Doubles
No-Limit
Alfonso Amendola was all in for 19,600 before the flop with pocket sixes, and he was in a good spot as Cyriel Dohmen called him down with an inferior pair of threes.
The board ran out uninterestingly enough that we won't even bother writing the cards, and Amendola finds a much needed double up back over 40,000.
