The players have been sent off on a 75-minute dinner break with the first six levels of play behind them.
Play will resume at approximately 6:45 p.m. local time in Las Vegas with plans to play five more levels before the day is through.
The board currently reads 242 entries with late registration and reentry still available all day long.
Not sure what set this one off, but Ari Engel and Brandon Meyers have entered into some kind of needling war of late.
Myers is on Engel's direct left, but Engel appears to be getting the best of it right now, with more chips and the sharper wit.
"It's so strange to have someone on your left who is basically telling you he's going to give away all his chips to you," Engel said. "He's playing great...for the table."

It was kings over queens this time, holding to hand him a 30,000 chip pot and move his stack to the 125,000 mark.
In the meantime, the sharks are beginning to circle around Howard Hunt as he's been bled down to 75,000.

It's been a good day so far for Bob Redman, who's sitting on 62,000 chips as of right now. Just now it was German pro Pascal Hartmann who raised to 700 from the button and Redman three-bet right away from the small blind to 2,500.
Hartmann made the call and the flop brought out 
on which Redman bet 3,300. Hartmann made the call and the turn was the

Dan O'Brien check-called a Jesse Yaginuma flop bet on a board reading

turn, but when the 
river came down and O'Brien led for 7,500, Yaginuma jammed over the top for 18,175 total.
O'Brien didn't seem to like it, but made the call with the

set, with the river going about as well for O'Brien as Game 7 of the NBA Finals and his forays into sports betting mentioned earlier.
O'Brien had about a quarter of a starting stack, making the walk of shame out of the tournament room soon after, as Yaginuma began a climb up the counts.

Louisiana's Howard Hunt is the first player past the 100,000-chip post and into the lead here at the Hollywood Poker Open Season 4 Championship Event.
He ensured there would be no min-cash for rock Tony Cousineau in this one, busting him a little earlier, and had a smile when asked how that hand went.
"Not good for him," Hunt joked, later acknowledging he'd flopped bottom set against top two pair and held.
