Aleks Brkovic opened from middle position to 1,600 and was called by the player on the button and both blinds as the flop came down 
. The blinds checked over to Brkovic, who threw out a continuation bet of 2,600, and watched as each of his opponents quickly threw their cards into the muck.

With the flop reading 
, the player in late position checked. Jason Lee was the other player in the hand, and he bet out 3,600. His opponent then moved all in for around 25,000 in chips, which had Lee covered. He made the call as both players tabled their cards.
Lee: 
Opponent: 
Lee had the over-pair, but needed to dodge several outs to win the pot. The 
was a good card for him, but the 
on the river completed his opponent’s draw, sending him to the rail for the third time in successive days.

After a few raisers pre-flop, both Andrew Hinrichsen and his opponent saw the flop come down 
. Both checked to see the 
come on the turn, as the player in late position checked. Hinrichsen thought for a moment, before throwing out a bet of 2,600. His opponent picked up the chips totalling the call, placed them next to his stack, and then mucked, giving up the hand.

The hand started with Dave Allen opening to 1,200 from under the gun, and finding four callers to the flop. All five players were happy to check the 
flop as the fell on the turn. The blinds checked to Allen, who bet out 2,000, and watched as one-by-one, each of his opponents let go of their hands.
Allen had a chuckle to himself, as he raked in the small pot to move him back up to starting stack.

The players have returned from their breaks, and will continue with 40-minute levels for the remainder of the day.
Level: 5
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75
The players are on their first 10-minute break of the day.
In the last hand before the break, a player in middle position opened to 800 and was called by the player in the hijack, as well as Josh Bell on the button. The flop came down 
as a continuation bet of 1,500 was thrown out by the player in middle position. The hijack decided to min-raise to 3,000, with the decision on Bell. Before he had a chance to make his move, the player in middle position made the call, not remembering that Bell was still left to act.
Bell promptly raised to 7,500 and without hesitation, his opponent in middle position moved all in for 17,200. The hijack got out of the way, as Bell snap-called as the cards were tabled.
Bell: 
Opponent: 
Bell had his opponent covered by 300, and was in great shape to double-up early. He had flopped bottom-set, and needed to dodge a spade or running cards for a straight. The 
on the turn gave his opponent a gut-shot straight draw, and with a sickening blow on the river, the dealer produced the 
to award the pot to Bell’s opponent, as he made his way to the break thinking about what could’ve been.
