Jonathan Little was having a rough go at things early on in the day but he grinded it out and is now starting to catch fire. Little raised to 200,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Jake Schindler in the small blind who three-bet to 800,000.
The big blind folded and Little announced all in, having Schindler covered at the time. Schindler quickly tossed his cards into the muck and Little raked in yet another pot to sit at the top of the leaderboard.

With the average stack being a little over 50 big blinds, the majority of the action has come before the flop. There have been no eliminations since the last break and the players seem to be rather comfortable with how the tournament is progressing.
Alexandru Papazian opened to 160,000 from the hijack and Ivan Deyra three-bet to 450,000 on the button. The action folded back to Papazian who four-bet to 1.15 million. Deyra looked back at his cards and then announced all in for around 3.65 million. Papazian quickly mucked his cards and Deyra picked up a pot without seeing any further cards.
