Here is some fun for your break straight from the tournament floor.
On a board of 
, one player was all in from early position and Thomas Muehloecker bet 8,600 from middle position into a dry side pot. A player on the button called, and the river was a 
. Muehloecker checked, and after thinking a few minutes, his opponent checked back.
The all-in player showed 
but Muehloecker had that beat with 
. The last player flipped what looked like 
for a monstrous airballed draw.
Muehloecker looks to be the chip leader as players head to dinner.
Down to just 6,925, [Removed:522] was all in and at risk with the Q♥J♥ and initial raiser Georgy Komarov quickly called with the A♦Q♦. The flop of J♦10♣9♦ improved [Removed:522] to a pair of jacks, but Komarov had a flush draw.
It was all over on the K♦ turn, and Komarov even asked the dealer for the 10♦ to make a royal flush despite having his opponent drawing dead already. The wish wasn't granted, as the J♠ showed up on the river. [Removed:522] barely saw that, as he had grabbed his belongings and was on the way out.
Jerry Wong was in the cutoff, and the November Niner bet 1,700 on a 
flop against his lone opponent, who was on the button. That player called, and Wong checked to him on the turn. Wong's opponent bet 3,500 and Wong called. Wong checked the 
river and saw his opponent jam for right around 9,000. Wong thought a bit and called, only to be shown 
for a straight.
Despite the setback, Wong is still above the starting stack.
A raising war broke out between Francisco Arce and Vlad Darie with the former ending up all in for his last 9,225 out of the small blind. Darie called and turned over 
only for the Spaniard to flip over 
.
The board ran out 
and Darie lost about one third of his stack.

Louis Linard called a three-bet by Nikolaos Iliakis and then faced a bet worth 1,500 on the 
flop. Linard called on the button and the 
fell on the turn. Iliakis checked, Linard bet 2,500 and received the call.
After the river, Iliakis checked and Linard bet 5,000. Iliakis check-raised to 15,000 and was eventually called by the Frenchman to turn over 
for a full house. "Well done," Martin Kabrhel said and then asked "where are you from Sir?" Iliakis replied with a simple "Europe" and stacked the profit.
