Alex Kulev raised to 21,000 from under the gun, and Thomas Alfred Mayer jammed the big blind for about 81,000. Kulev called.
Thomas Alfred Mayer: A♠K♦ 
Alex Kulev: 9♠7♠
Mayer had the best hand with big slick, although Kulev had two live cards with five to come.
Kulev picked up a straight draw on the 6♥3♦8♦ flop, but was unable to improve to more than nine-high after the 8♥2♥ completed the board, and Mayer doubled.
Paulius Vaitekunas raised to 20,000 on the button before Alexey Borovkov three-bet to 70,000 from the big blind and Vaitekunas made the call.
The flop came 4♣2♠K♠, and Borovkov bet 30,000. Vaitekunas raised to 55,000 before Borovkov put him all in for roughly 200,000. Vaitekunas snap-called.
Paulius Vaitekunas: K♦J♠
Alexey Borovkov: A♠K♣
The Q♥ turn and Q♣ river changed nothing, with Borovkov's ace kicker playing to eliminate Vaitekunas.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 20,000 in the cutoff, and only Nicholas Seward called from the big blind.
Seward check-called a bet of 15,000 from Vaskaboinikau on the J♠4♦8♠ flop.
The 9♣ came on the turn, and Seward check-called a second bet from Vaskaboinikau, this time for 33,000.
After Seward checked the Q♦ river, Vaskaboinikau stared at the ceiling, used a time bank, and then fired a third barrel of 33,000. Seward folded, giving up the pot to Vaskaboinikau.
After the hand, because of the way the unknown player had folded, Vaskaboinikau jokingly said to him, "You want to kill me with the card."
The rest of the table laughed, and when silence eventually fell over the table, the unknown player replied in a deep, menacing voice.
"Next time."
Alex Kulev raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and only Rob Yong called on the button.
Kulev check-called bets from Yong on the 8♦J♥10♠ flop and J♣ turn. The first was for 35,000 and the second for 60,000.
Kulev checked for the last time on the 5♥ river, and Yong, while having his neck and earlobe massaged, wasted no time in overbet shoving. Kulev had the effective stack with about 443,000 and went deep into the tank.
Deliberating for quite some time and burning through his time banks, Kulev was clearly put in the blender by Yong's bet. In the end, Kulev folded, and as Yong stacked up his newly acquired chips, he said to Kulev, "Good fold, what did you have?"
"Queen-jack," replied Kulev, which would have been trips.
That was music to Yong's freshly massaged ears, as he tabled 7♣6♠ for total air before adding, "Good fold for me."
Artur Martirosian raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called on his direct left.
The flop came 9♦6♣4♥, and both players checked. The 7♥ landed on the turn, and Martirosian bet 50,000, which Vaskaboinikau quickly called.
Both players checked the K♥ river, and Martirosian tabled 8♣8♥ for a pair of eights to take the pot as Vaskaboinikau mucked.
### Yong Puts Mayer All In
Paulius Vaitekunas raised to 20,000 from under the gun, Rob Yong called on his direct left, and Thomas Alfred Mayer called on the button. The blinds folded.
The flop came 7♥4♥Q♥, and the action checked to Yong, who bet 30,000. Mayer was the only caller. The K♣ landed on the turn, and Yong did not slow down as he bet 52,000. Mayer called again.
The 6♣ came on the river, and Yong quickly put Mayer all in for 166,000 effective.
"You have king-queen," said Mayer before folding. Yong then flashed the 6♥.
On one of the first hands after the dinner break, Manuel Fritz raised to 20,000 from the cutoff, and Matthew Wantman jammed the small blind for 242,000. Fritz quickly called.
Matthew Wantman: 2♠2♥
Manuel Fritz: A♦K♠
It was a race that Fritz took the lead in after pairing his king on the 10♦K♣10♣ flop. The 3♣ turn and 5♣ river didn't help Wantman, and he was sent to the exit, still in time to return to the buffet for a second round of dinner.
Level: 10
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 10,000
The 13 players are going on a 90-minute dinner break and will return at roughly 9:39 p.m.
