Players are now on a 30-minute break with the tournament clock showing 54/139 players remaining.
Once the field returns, late registration will close and the tournament will play down until there is 12.5% of the field remaining. The exact figure will be confirmed upon their return.
Thomas Lee opened to 5,500 and got calls from Graham Cowan on the button, along with Elisa Onay and Jose Amundarain in the blinds.
The flop came J♥7♠4♠. It checked to Lee who continued for 8,000. Cowan was the only caller with both blinds folding. The turn was the J♦ and Lee checked. Cowan quickly bet 12,000 and Lee eventually folded.

Bernie Stang had called putting Kenta Ito at risk, with Stang's Q♥9♥ coming out best against the A♠10♠ of Ito on 8♥5♣2♦9♠6♣.
Moments later, tablemate Lauchlan Swann had opened to 7,000 and then shoved after Alex Lee three-bet to 22,000. Lee called for his last 105,000 and the cards were turned over.
Alex Lee: AxQx
Lauchlan Swann: 7♥7♦
The A♣K♥6♣ flop saw Lee move into the lead. The turn was the 2♣ but the river 8♠ saw Swann river a set to take down the pot and move into the overall chip lead as the first player over 300,000 in chips.
