That's another level down, and the players are off for a quick 5-minute break.
The next break will be in 75 minutes, and it will be the dinner break.

Showdown
Prescott: 
Kessler: 
The 
flop was just what Kessler was looking for, pairing up to take a big lead. "Kessler just needs to fade the two remaining tens," Steve Frezer announced over the mic. It proved to be the kiss of death for Kessler.
The turn 
kept him in front for the time being, but the river was rather unkind to "Chainsaw". The 
ripped off the deck, locking up the pot and the knockout for Prescott. Kessler's day is done in 6th place, good for $37,736.
Allie Prescott raised to 18,000 in the hijack and Harry Cullen re-raised to 34,000 from the cutoff. Matt Waxman put in the rest of his stack, 38,000, from the big blind. Prescott called, as did Cullen, to put Waxman's tournament life at risk.
The flop came down 
and Prescott checked. Cullen bet, sucessfully isolating the pot and showed 
. Waxman had a few outs with 
, but did not get there as the 
turn and 
brought his tournament to an end with a 7th-place finish.
Matt Waxman opened to 16,000, and Scott Lipshutz three-bet shoved from the cutoff seat. It was a total of 141,000, and the action came to Allie Prescott next. From the button, he asked Waxman how much he was playing (181,000), then settled on a fold. The blinds ducked out, too, ansd Waxman
Showdown
Waxman:
Lipshutz: 
Let's race for it, shall we?
The 
flop smacked Lipshutz right in the dogballs. His set of eights pulled him into a massive lead with two to come, and Waxman could only catch up with running straight cards. The turn was a blank, and Waxman made a useless two pair as the river 
ended the hand.
After shipping that double, Waxman is left with just 40,000 chips, while Lipshutz climbs to 301,000.
Gary Friedlander opened with a raise, and AJ Jejelowo three-bet from the button. Friedlander made the call, and off they went to the board.
Both men checked through the 
flop, and the 
landed on the turn. Friedlander took control again with a leading bet of 60,000, and Jejelowo stared him down for a few minutes. He eventually flicked the chips into the pot, and the 
filled out the board on fifth street. Two more checks.
Friedlander showed up 
, and Jejelowo's 
was good enough to take it down.
Matt Waxman opened the pot with a button raise, and AJ Jejelowo three-bet shoved from the small blind. Waxman spent a good while in the tank, eyeballing his remaining stack and Jejelowo's mannerisms before finally surrendering his cards back to the dealer face-down.
