Players are going on the first 15-minute break of the day.
The field has grown to 119 entries so far, with 110 players remaining.
A player in the cutoff bet 6,000 on a flop of J♣6♦5♠ and Sharon Horn called in the small blind, as did the big blind.
The turn was the K♦ and Horn led out for 12,000. Only the big blind called and the K♠ fell on the river. Horn then moved all in for 25,000.
Horn motioned for husband Simon to come over from another table and watch the hand as the big blind took a few seconds before folding. Horn then showed 6♣6♥ for a full house as she took the pot.
Heads-up on a board of 8♦10♥5♠3♥, a player in the small blind led out for 7,600 and Oleksandr Lobur called on the button.
The river was the 4♦ and the small blind checked to Lobur, who bet 17,000. The small blind snap-called.
Lobur turned over 8♠8♣ for a set and his opponent let out a sigh as he tossed 5♦3♠ into the muck.
A player in early position raised to 1,000 and picked up two callers before Jack Hardcastle three-bet to 5,600 on the button. Only Carlos Diaz called in middle position.
Hardcastle bet another 3,500 on the K♠5♥7♣ flop and Diaz called. Both players then checked the 4♣ turn.
The river was the K♦ and Diaz led out for 15,000. Hardcastle snap-called with K♥10♥ for trips, while Diaz could only show Q♠10♠ as he gave up the pot.
A player on the button bet 1,700 on a flop of J♣8♠5♠ and Deividas Sabaliauskas called in the small blind. The big blind then raised to 5,000.
The button called, but Sabaliauskas put in a reraise to 16,000. The big blind quickly folded, as did the button as Sabaliauskas flashed the A♥ while taking in the pot.

Three players saw a flop of 10♥2♥5♠ where Marcos Rodriguez bet 1,600 from under the gun. Only a player in the cutoff called.
Rodriguez bet another 3,600 on the K♦ turn and his opponent again called. The river was the J♠ and Rodriguez fired out 16,000 this time.
"Ace-queen, huh," his opponent said as he mucked, surrendering the pot to Rodriguez.
The tournament clock shows 105 entries so far today, already surpassing yesterday's total just two levels into the day.
Heads-up on a board of A♥7♥8♠2♦, the small blind led out for 3,500 and Edilberto Lopes called in middle position.
The river was the 8♦ and the small blind bet another 5,000. Lopes quickly called.
"You win," the small blind said, showing two jacks. Lopes turned over A♣2♥ for two pair as he took the pot.
"I don't like playing jacks," Lopes said.
"But you like ace-deuce?" his opponent replied.
"In position," Lopes added.
