Dinner Conversation Material

Right before dinner break, there were a couple of big hands that took place involving decent-sized exchanges of chips.

In one, Jamal Kunbuz raised, then Jeffrey Papola reraised all in for about 250,000 chips. Kunbuz called, showing {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. Papola had {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. A queen flopped, and Kunbuz didn't improve. Papola survived, and will come back from dinner with 510,000 chips. Kunbuz is at three million.

The other hand was also a queens-versus-aces confrontation, this time between Paul Snead, who had {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, and Jamal Sawaqdeh with {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. The aces held up this time, and Sawaqdeh now has 1.53 million. Snead is at 830,000.

We're about five minutes away from the resumption of play.
