The remaining 25 players have reached another 15-minute break.
The purple T-500 chips will be raced off, and action will continue until just 13 remain to bag for Day 2.
Action was heads up to the A♥9♥4♣Q♣4♥ river, with more than 65,000 already in the middle. Gerald Irvin checked from the small blind, and was facing a bet of 50,000 from Justin Kelley in the cutoff.
Irvin took some time before sliding his cards into the muck, tapping the table as Kelley added more chips to his growing stack.
