It's a Show in Here
The British rail is firing on all cylinders and they are loud. They are singing, chanting, stomping and drinking heavily.

Join the WSOP livestream and watch the British rail do a shoe bomb in about 5 minutes.
Security guards have officially entered the ESPN Main Stage and are making their way through the British rail. The rowdiest of the rail birds are now being removed from the stands. Amid numerous objections from the several Brits in attendance, the security officers are being firm in their stance that they must go.
The shouts, chants, and cheers from the British rail are not limited to simply the final table, but can be heard throughout the entire Amazon room. Recently we found a tweet about this from Justin Bonomo who is playing on the other side of the Amazon room.

As the Brits were escorted out of the stage, all that remained in their wake is spilled beer and empty cups and bottles strewn about the stands.
The remaining four players are now on a 60-minute dinner break.

Cards are back in the air following the dinner break.
Since security escorted some of the members of the British rail off the stage before the break, there is a much quieter and smaller rail in attendance.
With the flop reading , Jonathan Lane bet out only to find a raise from Antonio Esfandiari. Lane three-bet the action to 850,000 and Antonio four-bet all in. Lane, the second biggest stack at the table who is bested only by Esfandiari made the call for his tournament life:
Esfandiari:
Lane:
Antonio flopped the nut straight while Lane flopped the low end. The dealer showed the two the on the turn and Esfandiari's arms slowly raised up in the air as he ran to his rail to give out high fives. The completed the board and just like that Lane was sent home and Esfandiari has a dominating chip lead over the rest of the field.
