Players have been sent on a 12-minute break with the clocks showing 20 players remaining.
Alex Foxen opened to 18,000 on the button and Nick Schulman called in the small blind.
Schulman checked on the flop of 4♦7♦2♥ and Foxen continued for 13,000. Schulman check-raised to 55,000 and Foxen folded before finishing a story that ended with the phrase "fearmaxxing."
"None of those words existed ten years ago," said Brandon Wilson.
"Pepperidge Farm remembers," said Schulman.
Elsewhere, Cary Katz is in the tournament.
