We've hit the end of the level, and the players are taking a ten-minute break.
From the button, Ryan Lenaghan raised to 120,000, and Austin Buchanan moved all in for about 1.65 million from the small blind. When it came back to Lenaghan, he tanked for a bit before making the call, the two men very close in chips. The hands were very close as well, and that was bad news for Lenaghan.
Showdown
Lenaghan: 
Buchanan: 
Buchanan has shoved several times over the past few orbits, and he had a strong one this time. Lenaghan was drawing slim, and the dealer would provide him no help. The board ran 
, and that gives Buchanan the win. When the stacks were counted down, Lenaghan was all in for 1.62 million, and therefore all out.
With zero chips left, Lenaghan was forced to wish his table luck and head off to the cashier. He'll take home more than $50,000 for his efforts here in Palm Beach.

John Riordan raised to 120,000 in the cutoff and Jon Brody shoved for 435,000 from the small blind. Ryan Lenaghan folded his big blind and Riordan called to put Brody at risk.
Riordan: 
Brody: 
Brody was a dominating favorite, but the board ran out 
to pair Riordan's ten, ending Brody's tournament in sixth place.
Riordan - 5.5 million
Dave MacDonald shoved for about 500,000 from early position and was called by Thomas Aprea in the big blind.
MacDonald: 
Aprea:
MacDonald took the lead on the flop when it fell 
, but Aprea took over when the popped off on the turn. The river was no help to MacDonald, out in seventh place.
Aprea - 4.1 million
First in from the small blind, Jesse Okonczak shoved his ~630,000 chips into the middle. That's never fun when the big stack is the only player left to act, and John Riordan made the call with a chance at the knockout. He'd soon find out that he had the at-risk player crushed.
Showdown
Okonczak:
Riordan: 
The 
flop at least gave Okonczak a sweat as he picked up the gutterball to try and chase down a wheel. The turn 
was a blank, however, and so was the 
river. The queen-three falls, and so does Jesse Okonczak, eliminated in 8th place. He'll be rewarded with a consolation prize of nearly $25,000.
In early position, Thomas Aprea limped in, and the table passed around to the blinds. In the small, Gerald Timmons raised all in for 270,000 total. Next door in the big, Mike Morton made the call, and Aprea called the extra amount to create live action going to the flop.
It came 
{J}, and Morton check-folded to an Aprea bet. It was time to see the cards:
Aprea: 
Timmons:
Timmons was well ahead with his overpair, two cards from the triple up. The turn 
was a blank, but the river would be the last card of Timmons' day. The unlucky peeled off on fifth street, and Timmons could only nod in acknowledgement. He wished his table luck as he headed off to the payout desk in 9th place, good enough to earn him $19,655.
Aprea is now just over 3.4 million, and he appears to have just pipped into the chip lead with that knockout.
From the cutoff, Thomas Aprea made it 150,000 to go. Dave MacDonald called from the small blind, only to see Ryan Lenaghan shove from the big blind for about 1.6 million. The others folded immediately and Lenaghen won the pot.
Lenaghen - 1.93 million
MacDonald - 758,000
Aprea - 2.6 million
