Players are now on a 15-minute break. Play will resume at the 20,000/40,000 level.
There was over 400,000 in the pot preflop as Andrew Moreno and Jackson Spencer took a flop.
The J♣2♦A♣ flop was met with a check from Moreno before Spencer bet 100,000. Moreno opted to check-raise to 330,000. Spencer gave it some thought before he called.
The 3♣ turn did not slow down Moreno as he bet 300,000. Spencer came along again with a call.
Moreno sized up Spencer's stack before he bet 1,800,000 on the Q♦ river. Spencer tanked for a moment before he folded to award Moreno the pot.

Paul Vang opened the action with a raise to 60,000 from early position before Andrew Moreno chose to raise to 600,000 from the small blind, which was enough to put Vang all-in. Vang decided to call to put himself at risk.
Paul Vang: 10♠10♦
Andrew Moreno: A♥J♥
Vang needed to fade the overcards of Moreno; however, the flop was not what he needed as it spread the J♠5♦7♦ to give Moreno the lead.
The 3♣ did little to help Vang, and the Q♥ river sealed Vang's fate as he was eliminated from the tournament.

Jonathan Wang went all-in for his last 260,000 from the button and was called by Robert Grossglauser in the small blind to put Wang at risk.
Jonathan Wang: A♥2♠
Robert Grossglauser: A♦A♠
Wang was in bad shape as he ran into the aces of Grossglauser. The flop of 9♦4♠6♣ had little to offer Wang, but the 3♣ turn did offer some intrigue as it gave a straight draw to the wheel.
The 3♥ river did not bring about the upset as Wang was eliminated in 14th place.
Wang earned $13,000 for his finish.
