The pot had swelled to almost 25,000 chips with Ciprian Iamandache and Ian Simpson heads up to the 7♣Q♠K♦ flop.
Simpson led out for 8,000 and was quickly facing a raise from Iamandache to 18,000. Simpson took some time before making the call, with the dealer revealing the 3♥ turn.
Simpson checked to Iamandache, who fired 23,200. That was good enough to take the pot, as Simpson slid his cards into the muck.

Players have been sent on their second break of the day, with action resuming in 15 minutes.
The clock shows 153 entries on Day 1c and 113 players remaining.
After reentering the tournament, Marius Brabie opened to 1,200 in early position. Alexandru Butcaru called in the cutoff and Shlomi Rozolio followed suit in the big blind.
Action checked to Butcaru after the Q♣J♦7♣ flop, with Rozolio getting out of the way before Brabie made the call.
Both players checked after seeing the 8♥ turn, with Brabie leading out for 2,000 on the 6♣ river.
Butcaru did not take long to lay his hand down, as Brabie raked in the pot.
The pot sat at around 48,000 on the river of a completed board showing 9♠10♥2♠10♦7♦ and action on Cristian Vladut in the small blind. After asking for a count of Dragos Corneliu's stack to his left, Vladut opted to check.
Corneliu took a moment before deciding to check back, with Vladut smirking as he groaned in frustration.
Vladut turned over 10♠10♣ for quad tens to claim the pot, as Corneliu showed 2♣2♥ for a full house.
