Maciej Adam Bak was all in for 21,000 against Samuel Ju shortly after play resumed.
Maciej Adam Bak: A♥J♦
Samuel Ju: 9♠9♦

The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) season has returned to Prague for the final stop of the year.
Known as the City of a Hundred Spires, Prague offers an enchanting backdrop for a thrilling poker experience. The fusion of the city’s rich history, remarkable architecture, and vibrant culture sets the stage for an unforgettable poker festivity.
December brings a brisk winter chill to Prague, with temperatures hovering between -1 and 4 degrees Celsius (30 to 39 degrees Fahrenheit). The city becomes a magical realm of festive adornments and Christmas stalls.
Snowflakes might gently fall at times, adding to the city's enchanting views. Dressing in layers is crucial for anyone wishing to wander through the mesmerizing lanes and visit the timeless landmarks—a warm jacket, scarf, and gloves are indispensable. Even with its frosty air, Prague retains an irresistible allure during this time of year; splendid holiday illumination and a jubilant atmosphere ensure that December is an appealing month for experiencing the charm of Prague.
The remaining players have been sent on a 75-minute dinner break.
Action will get back underway at approximately 9:10 p.m. local time.
Barny Boatman opened to 2,500 from under the gun. He got one caller before Ludovic Geilich raised to 12,000 from the big blind. Boatman called and the other player folded.
Geilich continued for 6,800 on the Q♠7♦3♠ flop and Boatman called. Geilich checked the 5♣ turn and Boatman bet 16,000. Geilich then shoved and Boatman quickly folded.
There were around 12,000 chips in the pot as both players looked down at a flop of Q♦J♣3♠. Scott Urbanski who was on the button continued his aggression with a bet of 5,000 which was quickly called by Scott Masih.
When the 7♠ fell on the turn both players elected to check. Masih with just under pot behind led the 9♠ river and announced "all in". Urbanski, shaking his head, eventually folded. Masih took down the 47,000-chip pot.
Tournament officials had been called to Table 47 for a situation involving Jeremie Zouari and Eros Calderone.
On a Q♣6♦4♦J♦ board, Jeremie Zouari had bet 13,000 and Eros Calderone had raised to 40,000. Zouari sat without cards, having apparently folded, but according to Calderone, Zouari had pulled back the three 1,000 chips from his original bet before replacing it and folding.
Tournament officials ruled that having manipulated his chips, Zouari needed to call or raise — he wasn't allowed to fold. However, while officials conferred they realized there was an additional complicating factor: Calderone had folded his cards as well.
Eventually, officials awarded the pot to Calderone without forcing Zouari to match the 40,000 bet, and issued Zouari a one-round penalty.
