We're on another 15-minute break, and the board shows that we've ticked under 300 players remaining. We've lost about 200 players in the first three levels.
Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen raised to 3,000 and Robert August Deppe reraised to 7,500. Jorgensen four-bet to 22,000 and Deppe moved all in, having Jorgensen covered. Jorgensen quickly called.

and Jorgensen doubled.
Kevin Ayow is on a tear today. He'd already claimed two knockouts today when we walked up to see him involved in the biggest pot of the tournament.
We only saw some of the action, Praz Bansi six- or seven-bet shoved for 111,500. By that point, he was heads up with Kevin Ayow, and he needed another 74,200 to match the shove. He spent a long hard soak in the tank, but he eventually made the huge call for around two-thirds of his own chips. With about 250,000 chips piled in the pot, the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Bansi: 
Ayow: 
Wow! When the dealer burned and turned up the flop, the was visible right in the window. The flop brought a king too, but the 
was a disaster for Bansi. He picked up a few outs on the turn, but the river has sent him on his way.
With that massive pot, Ayow has claimed the tournament life of Bansi and skyrocketed all the way up to 375,000. "My first thought was that he was squeezing," Ayow said as he stacked up.
From early position, Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst raised to 2,700. Action folded over to Sergio Castelluccio in middle position and he made the call. On the button, Radoslaw Wielewicki called and then Salman Behbehani called from the big blind.
The flop came down 
and action checked around to see the 
land on the turn. Behbehani checked, as did Selbst. Castelluccio bet 5,200 and play folded back to Selbst. She tanked for a long time and then put in a raise to 14,100. Castelluccio thought for a bit as well, but eventually folded his hand and allowed Selbst to take the pot.
Three players got it all in before the flop over on Table 3. It was Fabrizio Leonardi with the shortest stack of 6,500 and 
, the worst of the three hands. Michele Limongi had 44,900 and the 
, and Taylor Paur had them both covered with .
The board ran out 
, and that's pretty lucky for Leonardi. He's tripled back into contention, and Limongi's jacks allow him to double for 38,400, too. It's Paur on the sour end of both shoves, and it looks like he's been reduced to about 120,000 now.
