The remaining three players will now be taking a 30-minute dinner break and will be returning around 8:20 p.m.
The flop showed 
and there was around 300,000 in the pot when Efthymia Litsou bet 300,000. John Lytle raised to 800,000 and Litsou moved all in for 3,285,000. Lytle thought about his decision for about a minute, ultimately he called and the two tabled their cards.
Efthymia Litsou: 
John Lytle: 
Litsou was ahead with her pair of fours and now needed to dodge to stay alive. The dealer burned and turned a 
, giving Lytle the flush as he took the lead and Litsou was now drawing dead to the 
river card.
Litsou took home $12,741 for her efforts and the tournament has now reached heads-up with Lytle holding a massive lead.

The flop showed 
and there was around 800,000 in the pot. John Lytle checked to Efthymia Litsou who pushed in 700,000 and Lytle quickly check-called to see the 
turn card.
Again Lytle tapped the table to Litsou and again she bet, this time for 1,200,000. Lytle took a moment to think but in the end, he called the bet and the dealer flipped over an 
on the river.
Both players checked through and Lytle tabled 
for treys over ducks. Litsou looked stunned to only see a two as she chucked her hand into the muck, shipping the pot to Lytle.
"You've got heart, I can tell you that," said Lytle as he scooped in the chips.
