Level: 18
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 500
With about 85 players still left in the field, they've reached the end of Level 17 and the one-hour dinner break. Players will be back about 7:40 p.m. local time to resume play.
Wade Woelfel is the chip leader going into the dinner break with about 500,000.
Cathy Dever opened to 8,000 from early position and David Diaz popped it to 22,000 from the hijack. The player in the small blind re-raised all in with a covering stack, getting a quick fold from Dever.
Diaz though, asked for the chips to be pulled in. With 82,500 behind, Diaz opted to call and tabled 
. He was racing with his opponent's 
and it looked to be the end of the line for Diaz when the flop fell 
. He was already out of his chair and ready to go when the 
hit the turn, giving him a flush draw.
Diaz did indeed make a flush when the 
landed on the river, giving him a healthy 220,000 going into the dinner break.

Action folded to Thomas Conway in the cutoff and he raised to 7,000. David Diaz three-bet to 12,200 on the button, only to see Terry Grimes four-bet to 35,000 from the small blind. Conway mulled it over briefly before five-betting all in for 126,800. Diaz guickly folded, but Grimes went into the tank for a while before folding.
"Queens," said Grimes.
"Me too," replied Conway. "What color?"
Grimes didn't answer, and Conway tabled 
.

With a little less than a half-hour to go in Level 17, exactly 100 players remain in the 2012-13 WSOP Circuit Harrah's Resort Atlantic City Main Event. The top 63 finishers make the money.
Lee Childs has been eliminated following a couple of tough-luck hands, both of which pitted Childs against Avdo Djokovic.
In the first, Djokovic was all in with 
versus the 
of Childs, and the board rolled out 
to give Djokovic a ten-high straight and the pot.
That hand knocked Childs back down around 40,000. He'd chip back up a little, then had the misfortune of jamming with pocket jacks only to run into the of Djokovic. Five cards later Childs was sent railward, while Djokovic now enjoys a stack of about 220,000.

Chris Reslock opened to 6,300 from the hijack. The player in the cutoff called, as did Will "The Thrill" Failla from the small blind, and a 
flop fell.
Failla and Relock checked it to the player in the cutoff who bet 8,000. Only Failla called to see the 
turn and he checked again. The bet to him was 25,000 this time and he called once more. The 
landed on the river and Failla checked for a third time. His opponent took a few moments before checking back.
Failla tabled 
for four full of tens, besting his opponent's 
for what had been a set, than a full house, but now an inferior full house.

"The thing is... there's being active and there's being nuts...."
So began our current chip leader Wade Woelfel, talking to his table following a recent hand.
We came on that one amid a preflop raising war between Woelfel (in the big blind) and his opponent (in the cutoff). Ultimately their back-and-forthing resulted in the latter being all in for about 80,000, with Woelfel holding 
and his opponent 
. The community cards came 
, and Woelfel added still more to his stack.
The conversation continued, with Woelfel noting how he's been active, but not nuts. However he's been playing, it has has worked exceedingly well today for him, as Woelfel has built his Day 2 starting stack of 18,500 up over 400,000.
