Players are going on a 40-minute dinner break. Action should resume around 9:05 p.m. local time.
There are around 40 players remaining out of just over 100 total entries. Late registration will close once action resumes, and the official prize pool should be announced shortly afterward.
Jeffrey McQuillan raised to 12,000 in early position and Albert Shenker called in the cutoff.
McQuillan continued for 14,000 on the K♥4♦J♣ flop, and Shenker called to see the 8♣ turn.
McQuillan then slowed down and checked, and Shenker bet 35,000. McQuillan then moved all in for 59,000, and Shenker folded.
"Wow. Good bluff," Kaiwen Wei said to McQuillan.
Steven Tabb bet 20,000 from early position on a flop of J♦10♦8♥ and Jason Kuperschmid called in the small blind.
Both players checked the A♥ turn. Tabb then bet 80,000 on the 4♦ river, and Kuperschmid quickly moved all in for 111,000.
Tabb took a minute before folding, and Kuperschmid took the pot.
A player in the small blind moved all in for 70,000 and Lily Lotfy called in the big blind.
All-In Player: 5♣5♠
Lily Lotfy: A♦K♠
Lotfy hit top pair on the K♦7♦Q♥ flop to take the lead, while the 8♣ turn and 6♥ river offered no help to her opponent as he was sent to the rail.
Adam Johnson bet 15,000 from middle position on a flop of 4♥2♦3♦ and Kaiwen Wei called in the big blind.
The turn was the 8♠ and Johnson bet 42,000. Wei again called, and the A♣ fell on the river. Wei then led out for 50,000, but Johnson came back with an all-in shove.
"Ah, f**k! I should've just trusted myself and folded turn," Wei shouted out as he went deep into the tank.
"This would be a really good bluff. I just don't believe you would turn queens into a bluff," Wei said to Johnson. Around two minutes had gone by before another tablemate called the clock.
A tournament official arrived at the table to start the countdown, and Wei eventually folded for his last 220,000, showing A♠4♦.
Johnson showed A♦5♦ for a flopped straight as he took down the pot.
Vaughn Steeves raised to 12,000 under the gun before Albert Shenker moved all in for 52,000 in early position. Steeves gave the decision some thought, but eventually called after around 30 seconds.
Albert Shenker: A♣5♣
Vaughn Steeves: 4♥4♠
Shenker took the lead on the 5♥8♥K♥ flop with a pair of fives, while Steeves picked up a flush draw. The A♦ turn improved Shenker to two pair, while the 5♠ river gave him a full house and the double up.
"I thought a heart was coming for sure. I guess I'll stick around one more hand," he said.

Ante: 6,000
Five players saw a flop of 8♠6♦4♦ when a player in middle position bet 30,000. Mike Chafetz then moved all in for 120,000 in the cutoff, Patrick Lohnes reshoved under the gun, and the middle-position player got out of the way.
Mike Chafetz: 6♠6♥
Patrick Lohnes: 8♥8♦
Chafetz showed a set of sixes, but Lohnes had flopped top set. The rest of the board ran out K♣J♣ and Chafetz was sent to the rail.
