Moments after Gilliam's double, Jason Nguyen opened from early and was three-bet by Martin Ruemenapp, who was in the cutoff. Nguyen four-bet all in and Ruemenapp called.
Jason Nguyen: 
Martin Ruemenapp: 
The board ran out 
, giving Ruemenapp a full house to top Nguyen's aces up and send him to the payout desk.
As soon as the hand was finished, a payout was called for by the dealer at Table 13 and the floor told all dealers to hold play in order to conduct a final two-table redraw as Glen Miller hit the rail as well.
Stay tuned for updated seating assignments and chip counts on the remaining 18 players.
There was over 300,000 in the middle in a blind-on-blind battle between Tim Gilliam and Kevin Koch, and Gilliam was in the process of having the rest of his chips counted after getting them in and finishing with the best hand to earn a double. The board read 
.
Tim Gilliam: 
Kevin Koch: 
Gilliam's aces full proved best over Koch's two pair, leaving Koch with just under a quarter-million; meanwhile, Gilliam appears to have taken the chip lead with what is almost 1 million in chips in front of him.
Dennis Jones was in the small blind and pumped it up to 31,000 over a late-position limper. Lam Huynh then three-bet all in for his last 140,000 or so and got a fold from the limper and a call from Jones.
Lam Huynh: 
Dennis Jones:
The board ran out 
, leaving Huynh's aces up no good against Jones' full house, resulting in the dealer shipping the pot to Jones and calling for a payout for Huynh.
Moments later, Dennis Baker was overheard calling for a payout with a smile on his face. All that was visible before the board was scooped up was that Baker had 
and had lost to Matthew Register's . There was an ace on the board and it was likely all that was needed to send Baker to the payout desk shortly after Huynh.
Dennis Baker was under the gun and raised to 45,000, watching action fold around to Glen Marshall, who called from the cutoff. The two went heads up to a flop of 
, where Baker checked.
Marshall announced he was all in and Baker thought for about 10 seconds before sending his cards to the muck.
Level: 19
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
The remaining 23 players are on a 15-minute break.
Kevin Koch was overheard procuring an extremely audible clap, celebrating after winning a huge pot. According to tablemate Mykel Comroe, Koch had opened from middle position and was three-bet by Johnny Donnelly. Koch four-bet all in and Donnelly called.
Johnny Donnelly:
Kevin Koch: 
Two big stacks had clashed with one large hand finding itself up against an even larger one. Donnelly was unable to get the help he needed as the board ran out 
. Both stacks were tallied and Koch covered, sending Donnelly to the payout desk in 24th place.

Speed Frank opened to 25,000 and action folded around to Demond Williams, who defended his big blind. The flop came 
and Williams checked. Frank made a continuation-bet of 20,000 and Williams tossed in chips to call.
Both players then checked through the turn 
and river to take the hand to showdown.
Williams showed for two pair, sixes and deuces. Frank shrugged and showed a second-best 
, which was quickly mucked by the dealer before sending the pot Williams' way.
