The remaining 13 players have really slowed up. There has been a little bit of action, but nothing game changing.
For now, the players have been sent on another 10-minute break.
Joe Cabret was down to 5,000 not that long ago - which at the time was just a couple of antes. Now he is up over a million.
The most recent hand that added to Cabret's stack saw him flop a straight holding 
on a 
board. Ashley Mason was Cabret's opponent and while we didn't catch Mason's hand, clearly it wasn't as strong as Cabret's.

The latest addition to the rail is Ivan Zalac. The affable Aussie was recently all in preflop holding 
and had to come up against the 
of Phi Luu. The 
board wasn't helpful to Zalac and so he was eliminated in 14th place.
There are now 13 players remaining and the next player to bust is the last payout before a payjump.

on a 
flop against Phi Luu, who held . Unfortanately for Kozlov he wasn't able to catch the right cards on the turn or the river and so he was sent packing.
