Final Break of the Night
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
There are only 129 players remaining and the top 126 spots get paid. One hour remains to be played for the night and the T-500 chips are now raced off during the final 15-minute break.
Le Busts Sansar
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
When the floorman was called and the clock called on Cengiz Sansar, there had been a reraise to 30,000 in front of Sansar and a four-bet to 60,000 by Thanh Le. Sansar was given half a minute to make up his mind and with a few seconds left he said "I call," prompting both players to turn over their cards.
Cengiz Sansar: 
Thanh Le: 
The board came 
and Sansar failed to improve. Once the hand was over, though, some confusion started and Sansar argued that he had more chips than the 60,000 reraise. Indeed he had another 500 chip left and the floor was called once more. As both players had tabled their cards, it was deemed to be accepted an action to be all in, and Sansar was eliminated.

Next Batch of Casualties Before the Money
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
There are only 138 players remaining and among the most recently departed was also Radu Pitic. He had a stack of nearly two times the average not long ago but has since been eliminated. It appears that Michael Mandl has taken care of the chips and Milan Skacel has crossed half a million in chips.
