Players are now on a 40-minute dinner break. When they return, the players will play three more levels before bagging and tagging for the night. Also, registration and re-entry is now closed, which means we'll have official numbers for you sometime after the break.
We're not sure of the action, but we do know that Michael Tureniec was crippled after doubling Winfred Yu. The former held 
on a 
board, but it was no good as Wu had the 
for a full house.
Two hands later, Tureniec was in the big blind and he was facing an all-in raise from Tom "hitthehole" Middleton in the small blind. Tureniec only had around 20,000 remaining and he called it off.
Tureniec: 
Middleton: 
Middleton was surprised to discover that he was ahead, and he solidified that lead when the 
flop delivered hi trips. The 
turn made that quads, and after the meaningless 
completed the board on the river, Tureniec took his leave from the tournament. He stated that he may rebuy.
Jack Salter opened for 8,500 under the gun only to have Aidan Tam three-bet to 14,500 right behind. Action folded to Andrew Pantling on the button and he decided it was a good time to four-bet to 38,000. The blind both folded, as did Salter, and then Tam moved all in for 128,000. Pantling assessed his own stack and then opted to make the call, a decision he no doubt regretted.
Pantling: 
Tam: 
Pantling was dominated, and the 
flop provided little help. The turn gave Pantling a pair, but he needed another on the river to eliminate Tam. The dealer burned one last time and put out the harmless 
.
We're not sure how he busted to David Vamplew, but we do know that Yu Liang has opted to exercise his single rebuy option.
Jonathan Karamalikis opened for 9,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 19,500 by Tom Alner in the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded, and then Karamalikis pushed back with a four-bet to 30,500. Alner then shoved all in for roughly 100,000 and his Australian opponent snap-called.
Alner: 
Karamalikis: 
Alner was in dire straits up against Karamalikis' kings, but the 
flop gave him some extra outs to Broadway. Unfortunately for Alner, who has had quite a bit of success here in Macau, he failed to catch as the 
blanked on the turn followed by the on the river.
Level: 4
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 500
We happened upon the table at the tail end of a raising war on a 
flop that resulted in Senh Ung getting his stack of 180,000 or so all in against Aidan Tam.
Ung: 
Tam:
Ung held pocket rockets, but Tam had flopped an open-ended straight draw. Fortunately for Ung, his aces killed two of Tam's outs. The 
turn failed to help Tam, and so did the 
river. Ung's aces held and he shipped the double.
