The final eight players are off on their final fifteen-minute break of the evening. When they return, they'll play three more levels or until five players remain, at which point play will conclude for the evening.
Igor Holdaiy has been on an absolute tear in the last orbit or two, including knocking out James Eberhardt a few moments ago, and he's now sitting second in chips behind Ryan Tepen.

On a 
flop, James Eberhardt got his last 30,300 into a pot of 90,000 from middle position, and Jody Dobrinich got his last 57,000 in from the button. Igor Holiday had both players at risk from the small blind.
James Eberhardt: 
Jody Dobrinich:
Igor Holdaiy:
Dobrinich had the lead with his set of tens, but was looking to dodge the straight draw of Eberhardt, while Holdaiy had just a single king in the deck to draw to in order to scoop the whole pot. The turn was safe for Dobrinich, but the river made Eberhardt's straight and sent a massive pot his way, while Dobrinich was left with the side pot.
