Ben Savage is now sitting behind a stack of around 175,000 after he dealt the fatal blow to Busra Kaluntakasuwun. Savage held 
and had Kaluntakasuwun all in holding 
.
A 
board meant that Savage sent Kaluntakasuwun home well before the dinner break.
"I just didn't feel like making change", James Dempsey smiled after he got his opponent to fold on the turn. The Brit flicked a 25,000 chips into the pot and his opponent folded. Before all of this went down we saw a player raise to 4,500 and Dempsey called from the big blind.
The flop came down 
and Dempsey check-raised the 5,500 bet to 13,500. His opponent called and folded when the 
hit the turn. Dempsey put in a 25,000 chip and that made him win the pot without showdown. Interestingly his opponent showed the 
as he folded his cards. Maybe Dempsey got away very very well but on the other hand he could have missed some value with this strong looking bet.
Tyron Krost, who won this event in 2010 and took down the 10th Anniversary Tournament of Champions a few days back and won a lifetime of entries into the Main Event, has been eliminated. We're not sure of the details, but it looks like Krost will have to wait until next year to try and cash in on his freeroll.
Maria Ho tried, and failed to get Ben Jenkins off his hand on the river of a 
board. She was in early position and bet 10,700 into Jenkins, who was on the button.
He pondered and called. "Ace-high," announced Ho. Jenkins tabled 
and allowed her to close muck.
The action was opened to 4,000 from a middle position player and the only player to make the call was Andrew Hinrichsen in the cutoff seat.
Flop: 
Hinrichsen's opponent led for 6,800 and when Hinrichsen made the call, the 
peeled off on the turn. This time Hinrichsen's opponent made it 14,600. Another call saw the 
complete the board on the river. The player did not stop his betting, this time throwing out 22,100.
When Hinrichsen made the call, his opponent turned over for a high-card, while Hinrichsen tabled 
.
As Hinrichsen stacked his new chips, Mitch Carle was making his way back to the table and he stopped at Hinrichsen and grabbed him on the shoulders and said, "Why do people keep giving you chips Andrew."
"Because i'm a nice guy," answered the 2011 WSOPE bracelet winner.
Tni Lechich has broken through the 200k barrier with some heavy fisted poker. He three-bet to 10,000 after Khiem Nguyen opened to 4,000 from under the gun.
The German called and check-called 13,000 bet on the 
flop. The turn came 
and Nguyen checked again but soon folded after Lechich set him in for his last 50,000 chips.
Octavian Voegele could have lost a lot more chips when he held 
on a 
board. Voegele had fired out bets on every street and his opponent proceeded to flat call every bet.
By the time Voegele's opponent had flatted the river, his for a full house was good enough to send Voegele's flush into the muck.
Level: 11
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 300
Players are now on a 15-minute break.
Under the gun, Tom Dwan opened to 4,000, and he found two calls including Patrick Healy in middle position. Over in the small blind, Tony Grigg squeezed in a reraise to 17,400 total, and that folded Dwan without incident. The other two called though, and it was three-handed to the flop with a big pot brewing.
The dealer spread out 
, and Grigg continued out with another 18,600. Healy was a non-believer, though, and he shoved all in for 135,300, enough to fold the player in the middle and put the decision back on Grigg. He took just five seconds to be sure, then made the call with his massive stack.
Showdown
Healy: 
Grigg:
Healy was crushed, but he seemed oddly confident that he was going to come out on top as he stood up to lean over the table and sweat his own fate. The 
turn was a decent miss, giving him another four outs to work with as he picked up a Broadway draw. He began to verbally coax a jack from the deck.
River: 
Grigg could barely believe it, and Healy let out a beastly yell in celebration. He's gone runner-runner to scoop up that monster pot, skyrocketing all the way up to 330,000 and into the realm of the chip leaders. It's a big knock to Grigg's count — which would have been massive had he held — but he's still left with about twice the average stack.
