At another table, Ismail Kalkan open-shoved 48,000 with and got a call from a player holding . The turn brought the much needed for Kalkan, and he doubled up.
The remaining 100 players are going on a 45-minute dinner break. During the break, the T-500 chips will be raced off. Cards will be back in the air around 9:45 p.m.
After shoving the previous hand, picking up the blinds and antes, Milan Dondur open-shoved the second time in a row. It was 91,000 to call for the rest of the table.
Miroslav Forman was interested and reshoved all in for 205,000. Behind Forman, Oliver Classen called all in for 113,000, creating a multiway pot with two players at risk.

It's all Henning Wendlandt at the moment. Poor Martin Weiemann also lost the rest of his stack to the unstoppable Austrian, who's now up to over one million.
On a flop of , a third player bet an unknown amount and Wendlandt check-raised to 64,000. Weiemann shoved for 92,000, the third player folded and Wendlandt called it off with a smile.
