The remaining 48 players are going on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Bob Kellum was one of two players who bagged chips in multiple flights; thus, he already has a min-cash of $954 waiting for him. His larger of the two bags contained 161,000 chips and Kellum has been putting those chips to use.
Kellum opened to 25,000 in middle position and picked up three callers along the way. The flop fell 8♦6♥3♣ and Kellum continued with a bet of 50,000. Carl Masters called on his left and the other two players folded.
The 6♦ paired the board on the turn and Kellum jammed all in for around 140,000. Masters gave it some thought but opted to lay his hand down and give Kellum the pot.
Horace Wooten was down to around 100,000 chips and moved all in from early position. The action folded to Dylan Lemery in the small blind who stuck in some chips to call.
Horace Wooten: K♠K♦
Dylan Lemery: A♠K♣
The flop came 8♥2♠2♦ and Wooten was still well in front with his pocket kings. However, the A♦ peeled off on the turn and it was exactly what Wooten didn't want to see. The Q♣ completed the board and Wooten headed to collect his payout.
Ryan Enis raised to 25,000 in early position and Chad Link shoved all in for 219,000 from the big blind. Enis asked for a count and then threw in a single chip to signify a call.
Chad Link: 9♣9♦
Ryan Enis: A♥10♥
"Hold, baby," Link said as he rose to his feet. It was a coin flip with Enis holding two overcards. The board ran out 7♣6♦3♥Q♠J♦ and Link was able to return to his seat after doubling up.
