The chips are flying and Albert Daher joked "okay now we are playing for fun," after having just doubled right back. His opponent was Christoph Vogelsang, who had raised from under the gun to 31,000 and called the shove of Daher out of the big blind for 355,000 in total.

"Hearts," Daher demanded and part of his wish was granted with the flop. Sure enough the followed right after on the turn and that locked up the double, making the river a formality.
With the players all ordering from the in room dinning menu, the remaining 14 agreed a 75-minute dinner break wasn't necessary. They agreed on 30 minutes, so play will be back underway in half an hour at 8 p.m. local time.
Rocco Palumbo raised to 35,000 and Sam Greenwood called out of the hijack. In the small blind, Ole Schemion three-bet all in for just under 300,000 and Palumbo glanced over before moving all in himself for more than 400,000. This forced out Greenwood and the cards were tabled.

"Oh no," Greenwood joked when he saw the ace-queen of Schemion. Palumbo asked "what's up with ace-queen, you guys all like it?"
The board came and the kicker played to eliminate Schemion soon after returning from the dinner break.
Action folded to Albert Daher in the small blind and he pushed all in. Big blind Christoph Vogelsang, who had about 140,000 behind, called.

It wasn't that uneven a fight, but after the flop, Vogelsang was done for. The on the turn and river were effectively blanks and Vogelsang hit the rail.
