Picking up the action on the 
turn, Joe Hindry check-called a bet worth 5,100 by Kully Sidhu and then checked again the 
on the river. Sidhu bet 12,000 and Hindry check-raised to 25,500 for Sidhu to call. They chopped it up as the 
of Hindry and the 
of Sidhu both made broadway.
"Everybody loves a chop pot," Eliran Argelazi joked.
Maciej Plocki raised to 2,800 and Brandon Sheils then three-bet to 6,800 from one seat over. Plocki pushed for 33,800 and Sheils eyeballed the stack of his table neighbour for ten seconds before making the call.
Maciej Plocki: 
Brandon Sheils: 
Nothing changed on the 
flop but the 
turn gave Sheils some additional outs. He did get there with the 
on the river and had Plocki covered by a small margin.
Alexander Zeligman made "a few new friends" on his former table but also admitted that he ran pretty well. That being said, his new seat is strikingly similar to the one he occupied on Day 1a but with by far more chips at his disposal.
After losing the large three-way all-in just before the dinner break, Tim Wright bowed out before everyone else was sent off to grab something to eat. That also applied to Alex Goulder and Matthew Davenport, among others.

Keith Hoang:

The mighty pair held on the 
board as Trotter rivered a full house for good measure, knocking out Hoang and doubling through Wright.
Giulio Mascolo opened to 2,100 and his table neighbour three-bet to 6,100. Mascolo then pushed for 23,000 and his stack size was asked upon before the call followed.
Mascolo had the best of it with versus and there was no upset on the 
board.
Jack O'Neill had been hovering just under or over the starting stack for a while and was just spotted on his way out of the tournament area. The cards were still tabled as his

Mike Moore conceded the biggest stack on the table as Beuter is now ahead of him, the same also applies for Gabriel Ene from one seat over as well.
