Dick Postel raised to 40,000 in the hijack with K♣10♠. Small blind Bobby James made it 140,000 to go with A♦2♦, which Postel called. James continued for 40,000 on the 3♣6♣4♥ flop.
Undeterred, Postel checked his cards and called to the 7♦ turn, where James sized up to 285,000. Postel grabbed his chips but appeared to change his mind and let his cards go, surrendering the pot to the chipleader.
Level: 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
The remaining 34 players are on a 20-minute break. Here's a look at some of the highlights from the opening level of Day 4.
Play will resume just before 2 p.m. with blinds at Level 22 - 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 big blind ante.
Chakib Mhiri raised to 30,000 in the cutoff and Andrea Dato three-bet to 90,000 on the button. Mhiri then four-bet to 280,000 and Dato moved all in for 625,000.
Mhiri took a minute before folding as Dato took the last pot before break.
At the same time at another table, Artem Kotkovskyi was all in for 225,000 from the hijack and up against Fahredin Mustafov in the cutoff.
Artem Kotkovskyi: 9♦9♥ 
Fahredin Mustafov: Q♦Q♥
Mustafov spiked a set on the K♠Q♠J♠, then improved to a full house as the board ran out 6♦J♥ to send Kotkovskyi to the rail.
Yisha Chen limped in from the small blind. Roeland Peeks checked in the big blind, after which Chen checked the 9♠4♣10♦ flop to Peeks.
Peeks bet 20,000 and was called by Chen. The 8♦ turn was checked through before Chen fired 55,000 on the Q♥ river. Peeks spent some time in the tank, using one of his time banks.
Eventually, he called off. Chen turned over 5♠5♥ for fifth pair. However, Peeks played 4♠2♥ for a pair of fours, and the pot was shipped to Chen anyway.
Heads-up on a flop of J♦J♥10♣, Damir Zhugralin bet 30,000 from the hijack and Oliver Weis raised to 90,000 in the small blind. Zhugralin called.
Both players then checked the J♣ turn. The river was the 8♣ and Weis checked again. Zhugralin then bet 195,000 and Weis used up several time banks before calling.
Zhugralin showed K♦Q♣ for bluff and Weis turned over 9♦8♦ for a full house to win the pot.
Lander Lijo and Georgios Tsouloftas were clashing again in a pot on a board of 3♣J♣K♥4♥. There were around 250,000 chips in the pot when Lijo announced a bet of 115,000 and slid the chips forward, then Tsouloftas called.
An A♦ dropped on the river where both players checked it down. Lijo showed a pair of kings with K♣8♦, and Tsouloftas said "It's good" before he mucked.
