The players are now on a 75-minute dinner break and will return to action at approximately 7:05 p.m.
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a heads-up completed board of 5♣4♦7♥3♠8♥, the pot already had over 150,000 in it when Michael Abratique set out a bet of 100,000 after a check from Jasvinder Singh.
Singh then went into the tank for a good while before he finally decided to make the call, to which Abratique sighed and showed A♥9♥ for ace-high. Singh then proudly flipped over K♠K♦ to take down the substantial pot and boost him to 540,000.
Even with the loss of this pot, Abratique is still sitting pretty on his healthy stack of 1,225,000.
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ethan "Rampage" Yau opened to 15,000 and then Allen Kessler moved all in for 66,000. Bin Duan made the call but then Yau re-popped it to 155,000 to force a fold from Duan and the cards were tabled.
Allen Kessler: K♦K♥
Ethan Yau: J♥J♠
"Ok, no funny business," Kessler said to the dealer as she spread out a safe flop of 6♦A♣9♣.
But there was no power in Kessler's words as the J♦ spiked on the turn to give Yau a set of jacks for the lead.
"I said no funny business!" Kessler sighed as the board completed with the 6♣ to improve Yau to a full house and he was sent to the rail.

Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a heads-up turn of Q♥3♦A♥5♣, Shijia Liu had bet 44,000 after a check from Wesley Nally in the small blind, but then Nally check-jammed to cover Liu.
Liu then went deep into the tank to consider his two options, with his tournament life at risk. After a full minute, he pushed the rest of his stack into the middle to make the call.
Nally then grimaced and flipped over J♥J♦ for just a pair of jacks while Liu proudly tabled A♣10♣ for a pair of aces. The board completed with the 3♥ and Liu scooped the pot for a big double-up while the table praised his call.
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sean Drake moved all in preflop and was called by Naga Kakumanu to put his tournament life at risk.
Sean Drake: J♠J♥
Naga Kakumanu: A♥K♠
Drake was ahead on the flop of Q♣9♦10♥, but the turn J♦ was brutal as it gave him a set but it also gave Kakumanu the nut straight. The river3♦ failed to pair the board and Drake was sent to the payout desk as Kakumanu raked in the pot.
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Short-stacked David Miller moved all in preflop and was called by big-stack Adam Hannula to put him at risk.
David Miller: 7♣7♥
Adam Hannula: A♥A♠
Miller would need a lot of help to defeat Hannula's rockets, but the board of 2♠4♠2♦3♥8♦ did not do it and he was eliminated.
