Players have been sent on the first 20-minute break of the day.
Dan Samson defended his big blind to a raise from Giorgio Crisostomo, and the two players were heads up to the 
flop.
Samson check-called a bet of 500, telling Crisostomo that it "wasn't enough" to make him fold. The action repeated on the turn, this time with Crisostomo firing 1,000 and Samson claiming that he thinks he "is probably ahead at this point".
Crisostomo followed with a bet of 3,100 on the 
river, and Samson check-raised to 15,000. "That's a proper bet", he told Crisostomo who eventually found the call. Samson turned over
