The remaining 52 players have been sent on a 15-minute break.
Jack Sinclair opened to 10,000 from middle position. He was called by Ran Ilani on the button and by both players in the blinds.
On the 3♦5♠10♠ flop, everybody checked to Ilani who bet 15,000. Sinclair was the only one to call.
Ilani fired a second barrel of 27,000 on the 7♠ turn. Sinclair check-called once again.
The Q♦ river didn't change anything and Sinclair flipped over J♣J♠, enough to take the pot.

Nikola Minkov moved all in from the button for around 49,000. Ryan Mandara deployed two time banks from the big blind before calling.
Nikola Minkov: 5♦4♦
Ryan Mandara: A♥6♥
Mandara paired his six on the 10♦Q♣6♠ flop. The 2♠ gave Minkov some hope and he asked for a three on the river. The deck obliged and the 3♥ gave him a straight for the double up.

The 4♠8♠7♠ flop meant Djorno was drawing dead. The 7♥ turn and 3♥ river were mere formalities.
