After a player raised to 1,800 from under the gun, Hiren Patel made the call from the next seat. The button called and then Yevgeniy Timoshenko called from the big blind.
The four players saw the flop come down 
and action checked around. AFter the 
landed on the turn, Timoshenko bet 3,600. One by one, each player folded and Timoshenko won the pot to increase to 86,000 in chips.
Alex Kamberis just won a massive pot with a king-high straight to move his stack to a field-leading 200,000 in chips.
Action folded to Victor Ramdin in middle position and he promptly raised to 2,000. Both the hijack and Pat Pezzin, who was in the cutoff, made the call, which inspired the button to raise 6,000 more. Both Ramdin and the hijack folded as Pezzin made the call.
When the flop came down 
, Pezzin checked and the button bet 12,500. Pezzin quickly folded and is still sitting pretty with 85,000.
We didn't catch the hand, but Maria Ho was walking by the desk and confirmed that she was just knocked out of the tournament.
As we were hitting "Publish" on that last post, the aforementioned Dan O'Brien came walking past our table wearing his backpack and a frown. We asked him what happened to his 31,000 chips from about ten seconds ago.
"I have an overfull," he said. O'Brien proceeded to tell us about his final hand, one in which he called a raise with pocket tens before the flop. He called a continuation bet on the 
flop, and his opponent checked the 
turn. O'Brien bet and was called, and his opponent checked the 
river as well. O'Brien moved all in, and his opponent snap-called with one of the two hands that could beat him, pocket nines.
"I thought I had it," O'Brien told us. "But then I didn't."
Indeed he didn't have the pot, and now O'Brien has no chips either.
A short-stacked player open-shoved for just over 7,000 in early position. Around the table, Ty Reiman woke up with 
and reraised all in himself. When the rest of the table folded, the short stack turned up 
to flip for his tournament life. The board ran out 
, though, and Reiman earns the knockout to move back to about 33,000.
At an adjacent table, we just caught the tail end of the pot as Dan O'Brien was raking in chips. He has just doubled up with after the board flushed him on the turn, and that moves O'Brien back up over his starting stack for the first time today as well.
Level: 8
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 100
It is not a scheduled break, but action has been paused while the tournament staff colors up some chips.
Action folded to Maria Ho in the hijack and she raised to 1,400. Both the cutoff and button called and the three watch the flop come down 
. Ho was first to act and bet 2,850, which the cutoff called. The button then raised to 9,000 which drove Ho from the hand. It was probably a good thing as one of her opponents ended up with trips while the other rivered a flush. Ho is down to 22,600.
With the board reading 
, one player checked to Anh Van Nguyen and he bet 2,400. His opponent made the call before she checked the 
river to Nguyen also. Nguyen fired 5,100 and his opponent made the call.
Nguyen tabled the 
for top pair of kings. His opponent mucked her hand and Nguyen improved to 68,000 in chips.
