That 90 Minute Dinner Break
...is now!
Most of the players actually wanted to keep going, but the TV crew need to eat too, so off we go.
Back in an hour and a half.
First Four-Bet
We just witnessed our first preflop four-bet here at this unofficial almost-final table.
Dan Steinberg opened to 42,000 and a couple seats to his left Ronald Lee made it 110,000 to go. Back to Steinberg, who tanked briefly before making it what looked like 262,000 from a distance. Now it was Lee's turn to tank, but not for too long - he folded, and Steinberg took the pot to applause from his rail.
De Wolfe Picks Up Some Freebies
Roland de Wolfe raised under the gun, and James Bord reraised to 130,000 around the table. De Wolfe quickly called the extra amount, and the dealer pulled in the chips.
De Wolfe and Bord check-checked it the whole way down as the board ran 
. De Wolfe showed his 
first, and his kicker was good enough to win him the pot.
Trouble On Levi's Left
Nicolas Levi opened to 40,000, and he just can't seem to escape the players on his left. He got through Fabrizio Baldassari just fine, but Brian Powell was thinking sinister thoughts. He grabbed a big tower of uncounted red-and-white chips (any three-bet would pretty much commit him to this hand), and he made it 195,000 total. When it came back to Levi, he asked how much Powell was playing, and he appeared to have exactly 150,000 behind.
That was good enough; Levi mucked, though the dealer handed his cards back and made him flash them for the camera one more time before she pushed the pot to Powell.
Action Still Slow
It was back to first-raiser-wins-the-blinds-a nd-antes for some time, and then we got to see another flop!
Nothing to get overly excited about, though. Roland de Wolfe raised to 40,000 and Fabrizio Baldassari called in the cutoff to see that flop, which came down 
. De Wolfe bet out 56,000, and it was enough to make Baldassari fold.
That dinner break edges ever closer...
Levi Active, Not Much Success
Nicolas Levi limped in from middle position, and so did Fabrizio Baldassari. Both James Bord and Ronald Lee came along from the blinds as well, and it was four-handed to the flop.
It came down 
, and the blinds checked. Levi continued out with a bet of 40,000, and Baldassari quickly raised to 124,000 total. The three opponents folded in turn, and the pot goes to the Italian gentleman in Seat 4.
Levi opened the next pot to 39,000, and this time everyone folded. He let Daniel Steinberg win the next one with a raise, but two hands later, Levi was at it again. He raised to 39,000 once more, but this time Baldassari three-bet to 102,000. He's been the most active player here in the early stages of ten-handed play, but Levi was forced to surrender his cards.
Could Be a Long Night
Since that bit of Marc Inizan all-in shenaniganry, we have seen a total of one flop.
It was dealt when Ronald Lee raised to 35,000 in the cutoff and got a call from Dan Fleyshman on the button. The flop in question read 
and Lee checked, then swiftly folded to a 55,000 bet from Fleyshman.
Beyond that, it's been a rather cagey affair, the players for the moment happy to take it in turns to steal the blinds.
Current score on the preflop blind stealing - Roland de Wolfe 1, Dan Fleyshman 1, James Bord 1, Marc Inizan 1, David Peters 1, Fabrizio Baldassari technically just 1 - he did open twice, but the first time he got pushed off by a reraise from Dan Steinberg, so we guess Dan Steinberg also 1.
A 90 minute dinner break is looking like a distinct possibility.
Planning For the Future
When we began this unofficial final table, Tournament Director Jack Effel announced the scheduling plans.
As of right now, we're still planning on taking a dinner break the end of this level, just about exactly one hour from now. If we lose a player before then, we're obviously done for the night, but if we're still ten-handed at 8:00, it'll be a ninety-minute dinner break for everyone.
Is It Over? No.
It looked like it could be swift end to the day, as Marc Inizan open-shoved for 270,000 and Brian Powell tanked up for a few moments, his hand protecting his cards.
But Powell eventually folded, as did everyone else, and Inizan is at 300,000 or so.
