After a frantic first level where 11 players were eliminated, everyone is in need of a 15-minute break. We'll have updated chip counts in just a few minutes.
In the last hand before the break, a short-stacked Ryan Yu shoved for his last 124,000 from the cutoff and Grant Levy thought for a few moments before calling from the big blind.
Yu:
Levy:
It was a bad spot for Yu, and it got even worse when the flop came down to give Levy two pair. The turn kept Yu drawing live as a ten would give him a winning straight, but instead it was the river giving Levy a full house.
Yu exited in 20th place and marked the 11th elimination from Level 10.

In the penultimate hand before the break, Michael Addamo opened for a raise from the hijack and received calls from Ami Barer and Sarkiss Osalian in the small and big blinds respectively. Two checks on the flop saw Addamo continuation-bet (we're not quite sure how much), and both Barer and Osalian called.
When the appeared on the turn, Barer checked and Osalian opted to lead out for 100,000. Addamo called, Barer folded, and the completed the board on the river. Osalian checked, Addamo shoved all in for roughly 450,000, and Osalian called with the for aces and sevens. It was good as Addamo took a shot with the for a missed flush draw.
With that, Addamo hit the rail in 22nd place for AU$40,000.

We missed the exact amount, but we do know Ryan Yu opened from the cutoff and Ami Barer three-bet from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded, and the Yu pushed back with a four-bet to roughly 150,000. Not to be outdone, Barer five-bet to 263,000 and then called off for 717,000 after Yu six-bet shoved.
Barer:
Yu:
Barer was looking to avoid any tomfoolery, and he did so on the flop. The turn was dangerous as Yu picked up a flush draw, but Barer managed to avoid it as the safely peeled off on the river. It was a big double for the reigning champ, and a title defense could very well be in the cards.

It's not been a good start to the day for Andrew Chen. The popular Canadian had dropped down to 388,000 after folding on the river to Richard Lyndaker.
He was in the big blind and called a cutoff raise from Lyndaker. The board ran out and Lyndaker bet 37,000, 108,000 and shoved the river. Chen managed to call the first two bullets but folded pretty quickly on the river.
