The remaining players are heading on their final 20-minute break for the day!

The penultimate level of the day started with 2011 WSOP Champion Pius Heinz hitting the rail when his turned trips was rivered by his opponent's Broadway straight. However the major story of the level would be new players surging up the leader board.

Abdulaziz Almashal, Javier Etayo, Kyle Burnside and Jason Manger all found themselves trending upwards while it would be the more notable Lika Gerasimova - partner of 2008 WSOP Main Event final tablist both here and in Europe Ivan Demidov - who would snatch the chip lead at one point as all the players who have flirted with the chip lead sat as following at break:

Manger - 145,500
Erlichman - 142,000
Gerasimova - 124,000
Almashal - 123,500
Burnside, 98,000
Etayo - 82,000

However it would the highly funny Jason Alexander of Seinfeld fame that would be one of the players hitting the rail after failing to improve with his {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} against an opponent's {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. Paul Magriel, Sam Barnhart and David Steicke also found themselves on the rail.
