We apologize for the lack of chip count updates. The ESPN film crew has the table surrounded, and it is nearly impossible for us to get a clear vantage point to eye up the chips. At break, we counted them down, and here's how they stack up:

Mizrachi - 1,845,000
Pham - 1,515,000
Jetten - 1,455,000
Smyth - 805,000
Argyros - 555,000
Harroch - 530,000
Moran - 525,000
Hanlon - 360,000

We've hit our first twenty-minute break of the day. There will be a color-up and race-off of the orange (T1,000) chips while players are away from the table.

[Removed:14] has the button in Seat 9. Michael Mizrachi limps in, Harroch calls from the button, and both blinds come along to the four-way flop.

It comes out {3-Clubs}

, and everyone checks.

Turn: {10-Spades}

. Kido Pham checks, and Brandon Moran comes out betting 100,000. Mizrachi calls, and everyone else gets out of the way, leaving the other two men heads up with one card to come.

River: {2-Spades}

. Moran bets out again, and Mizrachi makes the call. The hands are shown down:

Moran: {Q-Spades}

Mizrachi:

The Grinder's king-high flush is the winner, and he takes down a nice pot just before break.
