Alexander Uskov held top two pair, and got his last chips in against Andreas Freund.
However, Freund had flopped top set and that held to eliminate Uskov just before the break.
The players are now going on a 15-minute break. When they return the blinds will be 3,000/6,000. The average currently stands at just over 200,000.
With that elimination, Konstantinos Bouloutsos has moved ahead and is chip leader at Table 3. However, he's someway behind Wai Leong Chan (Table 2) and Ivan Leow (Table 1).
The pace seemingly hasn't changed, but the eliminations have dried up completely. That was until Joao Simao got 
in against the 
of Konstantinos Bouloutsos.
The board read 
giving Bouloutsos the nut straight and eliminating Simao.
There are 21 players remaining five minutes from the break.
