The remaining 19 players are on a 15-minute break and will return to the felt shortly. The purple 500-denomination chips will also be raced off during the break.
On a heads-up flop of , Rip Fitzer and Tavish Margers got it all in, with Margers at risk.
Tavish Margers:
Rip Fitzer:
Margers was far out in front with his set of sevens, but Fitzer wasn't dead yet as he could still hit a jack or a ten to win. The runout was not his friend, however, as it came to give Magers a full house for the double-up.
Meanwhile, Fitzer was left with only a few big blinds and exited a few hands later after failing to chip up.
