Players are on a 15-minute break while the bubble still looms. There are 59 players left and 58 places pay. Play will still be hand-for-hand when they return. The blind level will be 3,000/6,000.
The blinds duked it out when Erick Lindgren jammed for 39,000 from the small blind and was called by Chen Liao in the big blind to put Lindgren at risk.
Erick Lindgren: 7♦7♥
Chen Liao: 10♦6♥
Lindgren needed to fade the ten as an immediate out, and the flop complied when it came K♦2♠Q♥.
The turn brought a sweat as the J♣ peeled off to give Liao a straight draw, but it was not meant to be as the Q♠ river came to secure the double for Lindgren.

There was over 60,000 in the middle on the flop of 10♠Q♠9♦. Joseph Schmidt bet 10,000 from early position and faced a re-raise to 40,000 from James Van Brunt. Schmidt was not to be outdone and jammed for 200,000. Van Brunt went into the tank and used a time chip before he called to put Schmidt at risk.
Joseph Schmidt: J♣J♦
James Van Brunt: 10♣9♥
Schmidt was behind two pair of Van Brunt, but had outs to a straight and some counterfeit outs. The A♥ turn added more counterfeit outs.
The Q♥ river completed the board and delivered the upset as Schmidt improved to a better two pair to sink Van Brunt's hand.

Play is now hand-for-hands in the $2,7000 Run Good Main Event.
The tournament is two away from the money as players tighten up with 60 left as 58 players will make the money.
There was over 80,000 in the middle on the board of 9♣2♠8♠10♠ in a pot between Stephen Hesse in the hijack position and Haixia Zhang on the button.
Hesse chose to bet 40,000 on the turn. Zhang mulled over her decision and called to send them to a river.
The 10♦ river led to a big bet of 175,000 from Hesse. Zhang played a time chip as she was in the tank and even went as far as cutting out the amount of chips to call, but thought better of it as she folded to award the pot to Hesse.

Jonathan Wang got the hand started with a raise to 10,000 from the hijack. Wang was called by Daniel Burgess on the button before Jedidiah Hoffman decided to go all-in for 53,500 from the small blind. Wang exited the hand, and Burgess gave it some thought before he called to put Hoffman at risk.
Jedidiah Hoffman: A♣J♣
Daniel Burgess: K♠Q♠
It was a coin flip between Hoffman and Burgess as Hoffman held the slight edge.
Hoffman's chances at success grew after the flop fanned out 5♥5♦9♣. The 4♠ turn and the 6♠ river were safe for Hoffman as he doubled up at the expense of Burgess.
