Players in the $600 The Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship are now on a 15-minute break. Play will resume at the 10,000/20,000 level.
Matthew Berto shoved for approximately 120,000 from the hijack and was called by Ravi Shanmugam in the big blind to put Berto at risk.
Matthew Berto: 9♥9♦
Ravi Shanmugam: 10♣10♦
Berto needed some help, and the flop brought none as it came 10♥7♦A♥ to give Shanmugam a set of tens.
Berto's prospects to win were barren after the flop, but the turn brought his chances to zero as it came the 10♠ to give Shanmugam a four of a kind.
The meaningless 8♠ hit the river to complete the board as Berto was eliminated.

Jose Ochoa went all-in for his final 112,000 from under the gun. Minh Ledao made the call from early position and put Ochoa at risk.
Jose Ochoa: A♥K♦
Minh Ledao: A♣Q♠
Ochoa was in a favorable spot to find the double, but the flop had other intentions as it fanned out A♠Q♣6♠ to vault Ledao into the lead.
The 3♠ turn made it worse for Ochoa as Ledao also had a flush draw to go with two pair, and the J♥ river ended it for Ochoa.

Michael Stella jammed for 90,000 from the hijack position and was called by Joseph Bergh, who put himself at risk for less in the big blind.
Joseph Bergh: A♠Q♠
Michael Stella: Q♦10♣
Bergh had the best of it as he dominated Stella's hand.
The flop brought no immediate danger for Bergh as it came 4♦8♣7♦.
Bergh had a sweat when the 9♦ turn came to give Stella an open-ended straight draw.
The J♥ river was a cruel one for Bergh as it gave Stella the straight and sent Bergh out of the tournament.

Michael Hults: A♣9♣
Fan You: K♣5♣
Hults flopped best when it came 2♣9♦3♦.
The 2♥ turn didn't change anything for anyone, and the A♥ river sealed it in Hults' favor to secure the double.

There was over 150,000 in the middle when this hand was picked up on the 6♥5♣A♦ flop.
Austin Tian led out from the hijack before Sanjay Lavu raised to 100,000 from the cutoff. Tian jammed to put Lavu at risk. Lavu gave it considerable thought before he chose to call to put himself at risk.
Sanjay Lavu: A♥J♦
Austin Tian: 6♦6♠
Lavu held a strong ace, but Tian had the goods as he revealed he flopped a set and had Lavu on the ropes.
The K♠ turn sealed it in Tian's favor as the 4♥ river completed the board.
Tian has had a nice surge to start Day 2, and has crossed the million chip mark after a few levels of play.
