Break With 26 Players Remaining
Jose Drilon doubled for 69,000 when his 7♥6♥ beat the A♠10♣ of William Teoh thanks to a K♦Q♥8♥5♠A♥ runout, which improved Drilon to a flush eventually.
Moments later, Ricardo Torres jammed the Q♦9♣ and Alessandro Taranto called with the A♦6♦ out of the blinds. The A♣Q♣5♦8♠2♥ board brought an end to the run of Torres.
"I take from them and we give to you," the Italian joked towards the table chip leader Lijun Zhang.
One further all-in showdown took place when Kanishka Samant flipped for the last 51,000 versus Hal Rotholz.
Kanishka Samant: 7♠7♥
Hal Rotholz: A♥Q♠
The mighty pair remained ahead all the way on the J♥9♥2♠J♣4♠ board as Samant celebrated his double-up. Their table then prepared to move and switch to the live stream setup as 26 contenders headed into a scheduled 15-minute break.
