We've played two full levels of after-dinner poker, and it's time for the players to head off for a twenty-minute break. We'll join them in stretching our legs; back shortly.
While you've got some time to kill, have a browse through the photos and videos from today's action.
Rush for Chiu
David Chiu just went on a little five-minute rush. Here's a couple of hands he played to go from about 75,000 to 112,000 in chips.
Chiu raised under the gun and David Baker called in the big blind. Both players drew two and then Baker check-called a bet from Chiu. On the second draw, Baker drew one and Chiu stood pat. Baker checked and Chiu fired. This time, Baker folded and Chiu picked up the pot.
On the very next hand, Chiu made a 
and beat Chris McHugh in a pot worth about 18,000 chips to move to 98,000.
Moments after that, McHugh raised and Chiu called. Both players drew two and then McHugh check-called a bet from Chiu. On the second draw, McHugh drew two and Chiu drew one. McHugh checked, Chiu bet and McHugh folded. That pot put Chiu around the 112,000-chip mark.
Israel Strikes Canada
First in from the cutoff seat, Eli Elezra raised, and Greg Mueller three-bet him from the button. Elezra came right back over the top, and Mueller flat-called the four-bet to go drawing.
Both players took one card on each of the first two betting rounds. Both players checked the first draw, and Elezra check-raised Mueller after the second. The two men stood pat and checked down the final betting round.
Mueller: 
Elezra:
It's a silly game, and Elezra's fourth card gives him that nice pot and a chip boost up to 87,000 after being down around the 3,000-chip mark just an hour or so ago.
Fuhs Eliminated
We didn't see the hand that ended his day, but Daniel Fuhs has just been knocked off in 25th place.
Bye Bye Davis
After the first draw, Leonard Martin checked and Raymond Davis bet. Martin made the call and then drew two. Davis stood pat. Martin led out after the draw and Davis called all in for 800. Martin drew one on the final draw and Davis stood pat again.
Martin drew an 
and Davis mucked, unable to beat Martin and becoming our 26th-place finisher. Martin is up to 140,000 chips.
Turner Sent Off
We picked up the action in a heads-up pot after the first draw. David Chiu was betting when we joined the pot, and Jon Turner made the call to proceed to the second draw.
Chiu patted and bet, and Turner called after taking a card, putting himself all in in the process. He didn't like it though, and he took one more card on the final drawing round, and it was time to squeeze it out for a showdown.
Chiu showed his , and Turner's (X) was still drawing live. He rubbed his final card and flipped up the 
, giving him both red sixes and a useless pair to usher him out the door.
"I swear I threw a red six," said Turner as he gathered his belongings. He was pretty adamant that he'd been dealt

Turner Finds a Pearl
Jon Turner just picked up a crucial double after getting his chips in with one draw to come. He worked a jack low by the time his last card came around, and he needed to fade Don MacNamara and his one-card draw to a seven low. MacNamara pulled an ace though, and Turner's 
was good enough to bump him back up to 24,000.
Forrest Crushes Newman
Ted Forrest raised from the cutoff seat and then Clayton Newman reraised from the big blind. Forrest made the call and then drew two after Newman drew one. Newman bet and Forrest raised to put Newman all in. Newman made the call. He then drew one card while Forrest stood pat. On the next draw, Newman drew another card and Forrest stood pat. Newman was drawing to an against the of Forrest. Newman flipped up another and paired his hand. He was eliminated from the tournament while Forrest jumped to 120,000 in chips.
