The remaining 17 players have been sent on another 15-minute break.
Action will continue in the opening flight until just 10 stacks are left.
John Mingus raised to 8,000 on the button, and Brian Durr stuck in a call from the big blind. Durr checked the 8♦5♣A♦ flop, and Mingus continued for 10,000.
That was enough to take down the pot, as Durr let his hand go.
James Lyle raised to 6,500 from under the gun, with William Kemp making the call in middle position. Benjamin Purer called in the big blind, and all three players checked through the K♣Q♦6♦ flop.
Another round of checks followed the 4♠ turn, with action repeating on the 3♥ river. Purer tabled 7♠7♣ for a pair of sevens before Lyle let his cards go, while Kemp showed the A♣ as he mucked.
Seth Booth raised to 6,000 from the cutoff, and Brandon Artis defended his big blind to the 3♥7♦A♦ flop. Artis checked to Booth, who continued for 7,000.
Artis did not take long to send his cards into the muck, and Booth picked up the quick pot.
Preston McEwen raised to 6,000 on the button, with David Collins defending his big blind to see the J♠5♥7♦ flop. Collins and McEwen both checked, and the dealer flipped over the 5♣ turn.
Collins checked once more, making the call when McEwen fired 5,500 into the middle. Collins then led out for 10,000 on the 6♠ river, and McEwen took some time before giving his hand up.
Baruch Biniaminov limped in early position, with Christina Hicks tossing in a call from two seats over. Brian Durr called in the small blind, and Heather Alcorn checked her big blind option.
Durr, Alcorn and Biniaminov all checked the 9♣4♥4♣ flop before Hicks bet 5,000. That produced folds around the table, and Hicks picked up the pot.
