Tam Truong and Brendon Rubie have been battling it out on more than one occasion ever since the latter was moved to the table. In a recent hand, we caught the action on the turn with a board reading 
. Rubie had checked to Truong, who fired out a bet of 100,000.
Rubie thought long and hard before making the call, and then checking the 
river. Truong slowly slid out a bet of 150,000, and Rubie snapped. Truong sheepishly turned over 
while Rubie took down the pot with a 
straight.
It didn't take long to bust a few players after the dinner break, with Sam Youssef the latest player to hit the rail. Youssef got his short stack all in preflop holding 
and had to come up against the 
of Brendon Rubie.
When the board ran out 
, it was all over for the player who finished up as the chip leader on Day 1b. Youssef was eliminated in 21st place and received $6,200 for his effort.
A short-stacked Stephen Ford got all in preflop for his last 80,000 holding 
and just happened to run into the bigger pair of Tino Lechih, who held 
. Unfortunately for Ford, there would be no miracle as the board ran out 
. He was eliminated in 22nd place while Lechih closed in on 400K.
Back from dinner and here is how the chip counts are looking for the remaining 22 players.
Level: 19
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 2,000

The 22 remaining players are now on a one-hour dinner break.
Sam Youssef raised to 29,000 from the hijack and was soon met with an all-in reraise for 81,000 more by Tony Kociski in the big blind. Youssef called and soon regretted it.
Showdown
Youssef: 
Kociski: 
The board ran out 
and Kociski doubled to 250,000 while Youssef was left with just 130,000. Both players are still well below the average chip stack.
Ben Harper was all in preflop with and dominated by the of Scott Wilson; however, the 
flop gave Harper renewed hope as he picked up a straight-flush draw. The turn paired both but didn't change the situation. Much to Harper's dismay, the blanked on the river and he was eliminated shy of the dinner break.
On the flip side, Harper chipped up to 680,000.
