Jean Santoni moved all in for his last 115,000 from the cutoff with Gordon Johnson making a quick call in the big blind.
Santoni: 
Johnson: 
The board landed 
and the kings of Johnson hold to eliminate Santoni in 22nd place for $14,741.
In a limped battle of the blinds, Holger Kanisch and John Tolbert saw a flop of 
.
Tolbert led out for 50,000 and and Kanisch made the call. The turn was the 
and this time Tolbert fired out 100,000. Again Kanisch made the call as the river 
was placed on the table.
Tolbert decided to move all in and Kanisch made the call for his tournament life but was forced to muck when Tolbert tabled 
for the rivered nut straight.
"What a dream river!" exclaimed Tolbert.
"That's bullshit!" replied Kanisch as he mucked and headed to the cashier as Tolbert is now up to 1.26 million in chips.
Grantland Hillman open-shipped his last few blinds from the button with 
, and Greg Pohler called in the big blind with 
. The 
board missed both players, and Pohler took it down with ace-high. Hillman hit the rail in 20th place, earning $14,741. That's a big improvement over his one previous WSOP cash for $3,000 in 2008.
Greg Pohler raised to 43,000 from early position before Yordan Mitrentsov popped them up to 112,000. Pohler made the call and they went to a flop of 
.
Pohler checked and Mitrentsov moved all in for a total of 241,000. Pohler went into the tank for a long time and eventually folded pocket tens face up!
Mitrentsov jumps to 490,000 with Pohler slipping to 1,055,000.
In a massive hand just before the break, Yordan Mitrentsov has been sent crashing to the rail at the hands of the giant-killing JD McNamara.
McNamara has caught aces twice already today and this time it was his that got action against Mitrentsov's .
The board fell 
and McNamara storms to two million in chips and a clear lead over the field as Mitrentsov busts in 19th place.
The players are now taking their first twenty-minute break of the day. Just as the level was ending, we lost two players. That means that when the remaining 18 return, they will redraw to two tables. We will also be moving from the corner of the Blue Section in Amazon to the Orange Section across the room.

It didn't take long for us to have our first bustout following the redraw to the final two tables.
Conrad Monica was all in for his tournament life with against the 
of Blake Kelso.
Monica looked set for a double up when the first four cards fell 
but the fell on the river like a dagger through the heart of Monica to send him to the rail in 18th place. He makes the pay jump to $18,471.
Action passed to Dennis Murphy on the button and he moved all in for his last 230,000 with Eugene Castro making the call for slightly less in the big blind.
Murphy: 
Castro: 
Great call by Castro and he was looking good for the double up until the board ran out 
to pair up Murphy's kicker and leave Castro to make the sombre trek to the cashier. Hopefully $18,471 will ease the pain.
