As yesterday, the dinner break is an enormously complicated thing, but all you need to know is that half the field are going on a 90 minute break now while the other half only get 15 minutes; after the next level they swap.
So back in 15 minutes for half the players and all the media.
Level: 7
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 50
We didn't catch the street by street action but Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has been eliminated at the hands of Jan Collado. The flop was 
and all the money went into the middle. Collado was holding 
and Negreanu 
for the flush draw. Neither the turn or river were any help to Negreanu and he leaves the event.
Collado cashed in this event last year and followed that up with an even deeper run at Berlin this year.
Roberto Romanello has just been involved in big hand that saw him go into the tank for over five minutes.
We joined the hand Romanello being heads up with his opponent on a flop reading 
and there being around 13,000 already in the pot. Romanello checked but his opponent moved all in for what turned out to be 22,850 chips!
This overbet really perplexed Romanello who quickly asked, "why so much?" and when he got no answer he simply asked again, "why so much?"
"No reason" came the reply
This sent Romanello into the tank, when I say tank it is really Romanello's own version of the tank, which basically means he sits back and grills his opponent, trying his hardest to pick up on any clues.
"Will you show if I pass?" questioned the Welshman, "I promise to show one card," said his opponent.
Romanello sat back in his chair again before announcing, "I think I'm beat now."
By now quite a crowd had gathered around the table and after a total of around six minutes, Romanello folded. His opponent asked him to choose a card to show but Romanello demanded that his opponent should choose one. After looking at his holecards, his opponent revealed the 
Romanello then offered the player all the money in his left-hand pocket if he could turn over his second card and it not be another ace. His opponent refused, stating he didn't want his money, before mucking his hand. If he is to be believed, Romanello folded a pair of jacks.
One player had already limped in in late position when the gentleman in the hijack raised to 2,600. In the cutoff, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier reraised to 5,725. The limper folded, but the hijack thought about it briefly before four-betting to 12,300.
Back to ElkY, who paused for a few moments before five-betting to 23,300, over a third of his stack. Back to the hijack, who now went all in to cover ElkY - and ElkY folded in an instant.
The gent who won the hand had an expression of righteousness on his face as he raked in the pot. The Frenchman was left with 40,000.
We only caught the very tail end of the hand, although our friends at PokerNews.nl with their advanced Dutch language skills found out that Erik van den Berg had raised preflop and then bet out on every street. Michael Binger called him all the way down.
So the board read 
when we got there and the river bet from van den Berg was 11,400. To his immediate left, Binger called. Van den Berg turned over 
for a flopped set - but Binger trumped it with 
for a runner-runner flush. Ouch.
Van den Berg - 65,000
Binger - 80,000
The three people with the heftiest stacks at Table 4 are Team PokerStars Pro Marcel Luske, Team PokerStars Online Jorge Arias and Ognjen Sekularac.
How have they been doing this year?
Luske has had 8 cashes on the live circuit this year including the 1st place at EPT Vienna in the H.O.R.S.E tournament.
Arias has had two cashes on the live circuit - one of which was at this years world series in a 6 handed event.
Sekularachas has had eleven cashes on the live circuit this year. This includes a 10th place finish at a side event in EPT Vienna a few weeks ago.
All three of them were just involved in a few hands before heading for their lunch break.
Luske opened to 1,300 from under the gun and the players on the button and in the small blind called. The flop was 
and everyone checked. The turn was the and and again everyone checked. The river was the 
and this time the small blind led for a bet of 2,400 and Luske called before the button folded.
Small Blind: 
Luske: Mucked Face Down
Then Sekularachas opened in early position to 1,500 and he had three callers. The flop was 
and the two blinds checked the action over to Sekularachas who bet 3,375 and the Button folded behind. The action was then on the small blind, Jorge Arias and he made the call before Luske folded in the big blind.
The turn was the and both players checked this time. The river was the 
and Arias started to count up a raise when Sekularachas saved him the time by folding. Arias showed a pair of queens for a full house.
Arias ~ 64,600
Sekularachas ~ 131,000
Luske ~ 72,750
Santiago Terrazas, who finished third in this event last year behind Carter Phillips and Marc Goodwin, is in a spot of serious bother now.
He was actually in some fairly serious bother already when he shoved for his last 12,075 in mid position to an under-the-gun raise. The gentleman on the button unexpectedly called all in for around 7,000 and the original raiser folded. On their backs, and suddenly things were looking up for the Spaniard as he discovered that he was dominating.
Terrazas:
Button Gentleman: 
Terrazas stood up, apparently aware of what was coming...
Board: 
The all-in gentleman spiked his queen, and more than doubled up. Terrazas was left with just 5,000 or so.
Johnny Lodden has seen his stack drop to "just" 95,000 after giving his opponent an 8,000 chip gift.
On a board reading 
, Lodden fired a 8,000 bet and then folded as fast as light when his opponent announced he was all-in.
They swapped over a little while ago, so we are now around 20 minutes into our second Level 7.
