The players are now on their second 15-minute break of the day and will return to action shortly.
A player opened to 3,000 preflop and was called in four spots to see a mutli-way flop of K♠4♥8♠.
The action checked to the initial raiser who continued for 6,000 and was called by Gabriel Jarrous, but when the action got back to Brodie Ritchliln, he check-raised to 20,000.
The action quickly folded back to Jarrous who then moved all in for more, which Ritchilin called and tabled K♥4♠.
"You play that trash?" Jarrous joked as he flipped over K♣4♣ for the exact same hand. The runout then completed with 9♦Q♠ and the two players chopped up the pot.

Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 19th episode, Connor speaks with former poker pro Eugene Katchalov, one of Ukraine's all-time money leaders who fled the country in 2022 after Russia's invasion and has since returned to the war-torn region with his family.
Katchalov, a former PokerStars ambassador, talked about growing up in New York City, his poker glory days and 2007 Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic victory for $2.5 million, returning to Ukraine and misconceptions about the longstanding conflict with Russia. He also discussed his venture into esports and new plans to get back into poker with a project aimed at leveling the playing field between pros and recreationals.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Eugene Katchalov by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
On a multi-way flop of J♠9♥K♦, James Kennedy moved all in from early position followed by another player for slightly more while the rest of the table got out of the way.
Kennedy: J♣9♦
Player: 8♣10♥
"Lets gamble!" Kennedy's opponent shouted, but the runout of 10♣J♦ only improved Kennedy to a full house and he was shipped the pot.

After an open to 1,100 by Calvin Maitland, Jason Moutsois moved all in for around 15,000 total and the action folded back to Maitland. After mulling it over for a bit, Maitland tossed out a chip to make the call and the cards were tabled.
Jason Moutsois: A♦K♥
Calvin Maitland: A♥9♥
Although Moutsois was a big favorite to double with his superior ace, the runout of 3♠2♠5♠9♦8♦ gave Mait;and a nine on the turn to send Moutsois to the rail.
