The remaining players will now be taking a 15-minute break.
Ricardo Eyzaguirre is celebrating his birthday by running deep in the first event of the series. When all is said and done he will have eclipsed the half a million mark in lifetime career earnings as he is currently sitting at $499,610 and is guaranteed at least a cash of $4,010.
Eyzaguirre is near the top of the food chain with his 2,950,000 stack and is in search of his first career six-figure cash as well as a shiny new Borgata trophy.
Jackob Datashvili seemed to have caught wind under his sails after the dinner break, jumping well over the two million mark before finding any real hiccups. Pearce-Christian Arnold was that hiccup as Datashvili three-bet jammed and Arnold quickly called for his 1,010,000 stack.
