The tournament clock shows 52 players remaining as they head for a 15-minute break.
The plan is to complete Level 18 tonight before bagging for the added Day 3, which leaves three more levels to be played.
Fabio Peluso opened to 16,000 from the cutoff and Guillermo Cifuentes made the call on the button. Fadi Nakhoul also tossed in a call from the big blind.
The 6♦8♠Q♠ flop saw all three players check to the A♠ turn, where another round of checks followed. The dealer turned over the 7♣ river and Nakhoul checked one last time.
Peluso fired a bet of 20,000, which was quickly called by Cifuentes as Nakhoul folded. Peluso showed K♥6♥ for a pair of sixes, while Cifuentes tabled A♥10♣ for a pair of aces to claim the pot.
