Players are now on a 60-minute dinner break, and will be returning at approximately 7:02 local time.
With the board reading J♠10♣9♣ and around 150,000 in the middle, Youness Barakat was all-in from the hijack for around 130,000, Ole Schemion was all-in for around 170,000 from the big blind, and they were up against Filip Aleksic, who covered both players from the button.
Youness Barakat: K♦Q♦9♠7♠
Ole Schemion: A♠Q♥10♠10♥
Filip Aleksic: Q♠Q♣4♥3♣
Barakat had the nut-straight, while Aleksic had outs to a flush and Schemion had outs to a boat. Schemion filled up on the J♦ turn, leaving Barakat drawing dead, and he remained ahead on the 4♣ river to take down the massive pot, while sending Barakat to the rail.
Barakat quickly reentered, mentioning that he was on his fourth bullet of the day as he took his new seat.
With the board reading 7♥9♠5♦ and around 100,000 already in the middle, Christos Argyriadis bet 106,000 from under the gun, Dennis Weiss shoved from the hijack for 112,500, and Argyriadis called with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Dennis Weiss: A♣A♥Q♥2♠
Christos Argyriadis: Q♦J♣8♦7♣
The rest of the board ran out 9♦A♦. Argyriadis had made a running flush, but Weiss had rivered a full house to secure the double up.

Patrik Jaros raised to 9,000 from the small blind and Ole Schemion defended from the big blind.
The flop came 7♥5♦8♥ and Jaros check-called a 10,000 bet from Schemion.
Jaros check-called a second barrel from Schemion on the Q♣ turn, this time for 43,000. Both players then checked the 5♠ river. Jaros turned over K♦K♥10♠9♦ for an overpair and Schemion mucked.
Carlo van Ravenswoud opened to 10,500 from the hijack, Ying Kan called from the button, Markus Ristola three-bet to 43,500 from the big blind, and both opponents called.
The flop came J♦10♣6♣. Ristola shoved for around 85,000, Van Ravenswould quickly re-shoved with a covering stack, and Kan folded.
Markus Ristola: K♦K♠6♦2♥
Carlo van Ravenswoud: K♥Q♣9♥4♣
Ristola had an overpair, while Van Ravenswould had plenty of outs with a wrap and queen-high flush draw. The rest of the board ran out 8♣7♥, giving Van Ravenswould the flush to send Ristola to the rail.
