Tom Vogelsang raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Sofoklis Palekythritis called on the button. "Appie" then shoved in his stack of 105,000 from the big blind and was called by both players.
Vogelsang and Palekythritis checked the 5♣8♥10♦10♠2♥ board through to showdown. "Appie" showed A♥A♣6♠5♦ for aces and tens, winning the pot and tripling up.
"Appie" tossed in his final 100,000 from the cutoff. The action folded to big blind Tom Vogelsang, who put in the call.
"Appie": A♦K♥10♥8♣ 
Tom Vogelsang: A♥Q♠J♦8♥
"Appie" made two pair on the K♦8♦6♣ flop. The Q♦ turn also gave Vogelsang two pair, but it remained the inferior hand on the 5♠ river, deciding the hand in favor of "Appie".

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 23rd episode, Connor speaks with Hollywood producer and 2006 Main Event champion Jamie Gold about growing up in New York City, learning poker from his parents and grandparents, playing poker with Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey and Johnny Chan in the 1990s, the early days of televised poker and his memorable 2006 Main Event run.
Gold also talked about his charity poker events that have raised more than a half-billion dollars for various causes, the future of poker content and what poker players can expect from GGPoker's $500 million purchase of the World Series of Poker.

The 25 remaining players have been sent on a 45-minute dinner break.
The tournament will resume around 10:40 p.m. local time.
Ismael Bojang was down to 160,000, which he got in preflop against Tomas Ribeiro.
Ismael Bojang: K♠K♦8♠2♠
Tomas Ribeiro: K♣J♥J♣9♦
Bojang's kings faced no issues on the 4♦7♠4♠5♦6♥ board, doubling him up just before dinner.
With two eliminations to go before the money, the tournament will proceed hand-for-hand until the bubble has burst.
"Alakazam" was down to just 150,000, which he got in against Tom Vogelsang preflop.
"Alakazam": Q♥J♥10♥7♦
Tom Vogelsang: A♥A♣9♣4♦
The 3♦K♦10♣K♣A♦ runout gave Vogelsang a full house to eliminate "Alakazam".
Shortly before, Sean Rafael departed the tournament to leave 25 players remaining.
Joachim Haraldstad raised to 85,000 from middle position, leaving about the same amount back. Max Kruse and Tom Vogelsang called in the blinds, leading to a flop of J♦7♣6♦.
Kruse led out for 40,000, folding out Vogelsang but getting a call from Haraldstad. The rest of Haraldstad's chips were put in on the K♥ turn, bringing it to showdown.
Joachim Haraldstad: A♠A♣2♥Xx
Max Kruse: A♦J♣10♥8♥
Kruse needed to improve against the aces of Haraldstad, and he did just so when the J♠ river provided him with trips. Haraldstad was knocked out, causing the field to be four away from the money.
