Action has slowed a lot this level, as the players get down to the grind. Andrew Jeffreys and Jim Sachindis have passed the time debating whether or not the tournament should have a dinner break.
Sachinidis' take on the matter was that, "12 hours was too long to play without a dinner". At this point Jeffreys pointed out that play would only be around 9 hours in duration.
The structure is such that the players will play 9 hours straight and then bag and tag. Except for the ten minute breaks every three levels, there will be no other scheduled stoppages in play.
As a side-note former Aussie Millions champion Tony Bloom busted shortly before the last break.

Gary Benson has been sent to the rail just before the break, after his last 2,500 chips were in the middle with the pocket rockets against the pocket kings of Sarvesh Pershad. Benson was looking for a double up but a king on the turn was not what Benson wanted to see and he was sent to the rail.

Proving to be no Dunst...
Tony 'Bond18' Dunst has just doubled up through former WSOPE Main Event finalist James Keys. Dunst had a fairly short stack but his held against Keys' on a board.

Bill Jordanou has been sent to the rail at the hands of Hugh Cohen. We arrived at the table to see Jordanou move all in on a board, with Cohen happy to call with his for a full house. Jordanou was a little unlucky as he flashed pocket fours for a smaller full house.
