As has been the case in each of the Day 1 flights, the floor have decided to go hand-for-hand early due to excessive stalling.
Currently, 89 players remain with 85 spaces available in the money and Day 2.
With around 40,000 chips already in the middle on a board of J♣7♣Q♥, Jack Oliver checked it over to Yucel Eminoglu on the button, who fired 18,000. Oliver called.
Both checked the 3♦ turn to see the K♥ hit the river, where Oliver checked and Eminoglu bet 58,000. Oliver didn't need to think for too long before he called.
Eminoglu then flipped the nuts holding A♠10♣ for Broadway, and Oliver tossed his cards into the muck.
Matthew Cox had gotten a few shoves through over the last couple of orbits and shoved for 34,000 from the cutoff. Arran Fletcher was in the big blind and after getting a count, he made the call.
Matthew Cox: A♦6♣ 
Arran Fletcher: K♣Q♦
Cox was in the lead, but he couldn't hang onto it as the 8♠4♥Q♣6♥4♣ runout gave Fletcher a pair of queens.
Level: 17
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
The remaining players are on a 20-minute break.
Padraig O'Neill opened from under the gun to 10,000 and got a call from Hong Pham two seats down. Ashraf Desai called in the small blind, and Sonia Padovani also came along in the big blind.
They quartet went to a flop of 10♦10♥A♠ which checked to Pham, who fired 18,000. Desai called, Padovani folded, and O'Neill called.
All three checked the J♠ turn to see the 4♠ drop on the river, where Desai led out for 56,000. O'Neill went into the tank for a while and with a stack of around 130,000, he called. Pham quickly folded.
Desai then showed trip tens with K♠10♠, and O'Neill mucked.
There were already around 35,000 chips in the pot on a flop of K♦5♠6♥ when Richard Jones checked from the small blind and Alex Montgomery fired 15,000 in the cutoff. Jones then put in a check-raise to 42,000, which Montgomery called.
A 10♣ dropped on the turn and Jones slowed down with a check, then Montgomery bet 36,000. Jones didn't move a muscle for around three minutes and eventually the clock was called on him, but that seemed to have done the trick as he quickly folded before the floor made their way over.
