The tournament directors have announced that the players are being sent on a 40-minute dinner break, with the action resuming around 9:25 p.m. local time.
The plan after the dinner break is to play down to 24 players or the end of Level 24, whichever comes first.
Yannick Jobin raised to 32,000 under the gun and called when James Noonan put in a min-raise to 48,000 from the cutoff.
Jobin check-called bets of 65,000 on the 6♠9♥J♠ flop and 150,000 on the Q♥ turn before Noonan sized down to 125,000 on the 9♣ river.
This time, Jobin check-jammed, covering the 425,000 of Noonan. Noonan snap-folded, leaving himself with less than 20 big blinds.
James Noonan in the big blind and Carlo Wolters in the hijack were heads-up on a flop of 10♠A♠9♠. Wolters put in the minimum bet of 16,000, after which Noonan announced a raise to 5,000.
As the raise was not a valid amount, Noonan was forced to put in a raise to 32,000 instead. Wolters then announced a three-bet to 42,000, which was also invalid, and was ruled as a raise to 48,000 instead.
Noonan quickly let his hand go as the table briefly discussed the alleged frequent misclicks of Noonan.
Catching the action on a completed board of Q♠6♦5♦3♦J♠, Hiep Ninh fired a bet of 140,000 into a pot of 325,000 from the big blind. Patrick Clarke then raised to 425,000, sending Ninh deep into the tank.
"Do you beat a queen?" Ninh eventually asked.
"You only have a queen?" Clarke asked in surprise, to which Ninh nodded his head.
After some more time, the clock was called on Ninh. Nearing the end of his countdown, he added his cards to the muck as he forfeited the pot.
A grin appeared on Clarke's face as he tabled K♣7♣ for just king-high before raking in the big pot.
Santtu Leinonen pushed in his stack of 234,000 from the small blind and was called by Stephen Freeman in the big blind.
Santtu Leinonen: A♦8♠ 
Stephen Freeman: 9♦6♣
Freeman flopped two pair on 10♦10♥6♦ to take the lead. The 3♠ turn and J♦ river could not save Leinonen, who took his exit just before the table broke.
Level: 21
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 16,000
