It's been a little while since there's been an elimination and there are still 11 players remaining to head out on break.
When they return, blinds will be 10,000 / 20,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante.
George Abi-Zeid raised in the cutoff to 40,000 and got a call from Ray Henson in the big blind.
Henson check-called a bet of 50,000 from Abi-Zeid on the J♦6♣6♥ flop to see the 10♥ on the turn. The players then checked to the 8♠ river and again checked.
Henson showed 6♦4♦4♠3♣ for trip sixes, which was enough to take the pot
Players at the final table are joking with chip leader Thai Ha about offering a chop with 11 players left as Ha continues to build his huge stack.
Recently after he limped in the hijack, Danylo Turov raised to 50,000 which Ha called.
On the Q♣9♠6♣ flop, Ha check-called a bet of 40,000 from Turov to see the 10♥ on the turn.
Ha now led for 125,000 and Turov frustratedly folded.
Ha's stack is now well over two million, with only a couple of other players around the one million mark

Kyle Arora: A♠Q♦7♦6♠
Jason Daly: J♣10♥7♣6♣

The turn J♣ filled up Daly, leaving Arora drawing dead to the 2♣ river and ending his day in 12th place.

Thai Ha: 6♣5♠4♠3♣
