Players have been sent on their final 15-minute break of the evening with the clocks showing 463 runners.
Here are some of the recent highlights:
Bryce Yockey had just one T-1,000 chip after bluffing it off to Alan Keating, who now has a stack of around 1,600,000.
On the next deal, Tom Fuchs opened to 32,000 from under the gun, with Yockey putting in his last chip from the next seat over. Chun Liu called from the big blind to set up a side pot.
Liu check-folded to a bet of 45,000 on the 9♥8♠7♣ flop, and the cards went on their backs.
Bryce Yockey: 5♠4♠
Tom Fuchs: 6♣5♣
Fuch's flopped the bottom end of the straight, leaving Yockey drawing to a chop. Fuchs took the entire pot after the 8♦ turn and 4♥ river completed the board.
Espen Jorstad opened to 32,000 from under the gun, and David Williams made the call in the cutoff. Manuel Carvalho defended his big blind, and led out for 35,000 on the 6♦5♣9♠ flop.
Jorstad folded, while Williams slid out a call. Carvalho fired again on the 4♠ turn, this time for 65,000. Williams made another call, and the 3♥ river completed the board.
Carvalho counted out a bet of 140,000, and Williams did not take long to toss in a single calling chip. Carvalho showed 9♦8♠ for top pair, while Williams turned over 4♣4♦ for a set to claim the pot.
David Benyamine opened to 35,000 in middle position, and Ari Engel replied with a three-bet to 105,000 in the small blind. Benyamine called, and both players checked the 4♣5♠2♦ flop.
Engel led out for 50,000 on the 5♣ river, and Benyamine used a time bank card pondering his next decision. Benyamine opted to raise, making it 175,000.
That was enough to take down the pot, as Engel slid his cards into the muck.
Felipe Ramos was all in for around 300,000 against Jack Raworth to his right.
Felipe Ramos: A♠Q♦
Jack Raworth: A♥2♥
Ramos had his opponent pipped and the runout of J♣3♣3♦K♠9♣ confirmed a double for the Brazilian pro.
James Caputo limped in from under the gun and called when Aleksandr Kirichenko made it 53,000 from the next seat over.
The A♣9♦8♦ flop checked through to the Q♦ turn. Caputo bet 400,000 and quickly called when Kirichenko shoved for 612,000.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♦A♥
James Caputo: Q♣J♦
Kirichenko had a set of aces, and the better flush draw to leave Caputo drawing to the 10♦ for the straight flush.
However, the 3♦ completed the board and Kirichenko doubled up.
