There is roughly 8 minutes remaining in this level with a 10-minute break to follow.
"Is this the dinner break?" asked a few of the players.
The Tournament Director informed them that it wasn't and that they would be playing two more hours before the next break would be allocated as a dinner break.
"It is 45 minutes, or an hour, but you guys can decide how long to take!" stated the Tournament Director.
"3 hours then!" laughed Sunny Jung.
"Let's just come back tomorrow!" added Devan Tang.
Devan Tang opened to 24,000 and both Yoshitaka Okawa and Yifan Zheng called as the dealer dropped a flop.
Tang continued for 45,000 and only Zheng made the call as the landed on the turn and a bet of 85,000 from Tang was enough for him to collect the pot once Zheng passed.
Action has slowed considerably the last 20 minutes or so. That's not overly surprising considering the remaining five players are incredibly deep. That said, there have been numerous instances where the players have shown they're not afraid to mix it up. We expect something will give sooner than later.
