More Action Before the Break
Guntis "poker@luffyD" Aleskins departed and he was joined on the rail by several other High Rollers such as [Removed:575], Ole "wizowizo" Schemion, Connor "blanconegro" Drinan, Konstantin "krakukra" Maslak, and Anatoly "NL_Profit" Filatov.
Filatov jammed the 9♦9♥ and was isolated by Ben "jenbizzle" Jones with the A♠K♠ out of the small blind. The board ame K♣4♦3♥10♣6♦. Jones jumped to more than 1.1 million in chips but lost a big chunk again after that when Joel "Odonkor1" Nordkvist made top pair with A♥Q♦ on a A♣J♠10♥4♣4♦ board.
Patrick "pads1161" Leonard doubled through Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker with K♥K♠ versus A♣K♣. The chips went in preflop and the 8♥6♦2♦3♥Q♠ board kept the Brit in contention.
When all was done and the dust had settled, just 49 players headed into a scheduled 5-minute break.
