Up on the feature table, now technically four-handed owing to the continued absence of Irving Rice, it folded around to Dmitry Gromov in the small blind who announced all in. The even shorter-stacked Isaac Settle in the big blind sighed, and smiled.
"I got an ace," he offered. "You got something this time? You wanna tell me? Ah, it's gonna be sick."
This elicited zero response from Gromov.
"All right, I'll give you some respect," said Settle eventually, and folded.
They're dropping like lemmings on a tightrope now, the latest to meet his demise being Josh Roberts. Aadam Daya was once again the assassin, 
holding tight against 
on an ensuing 
board. Daya now the clear chip leader with over three million in chips.
Two sets of American Airlines hit the skies over on the outer table, Deepak Bhatti and Dash Dudley overjoyed to see all the chips fly in, but chagrined to see their opponent sitting on the same hand.
Despite the crowd's silent, but sadistic will for a flush, no such miracle emerged, the two players splitting the pot on an uneventful 
board.
Irving Rice's chips are at the feature table, but he is not.
If you see him, do let him know.
"Chips are going in," threatened Samuel Paolini before the restart, and indeed they did, Paolini pushing his remaining stack in from the cut-off within the first few hands. "Call," announced Aadam Daya swiftly tabling 
. Paolini has been caught red-handed with a paltry 
. By the turn of a 
board, Paolini was sliding his felt across to the victor with one hand, and tapping the table with the other.
Looks like our field hit the coffee hard during the color-up break.
Just a couple hands into the level, Ashira Lavine open-shoved in mid position for her last 380,000 and Cory Brown made the call from the button.
Let's flip some coins, shall we?
Lavine: 
Brown: 
Lavine spiked on the 
flop, but when two more hearts came on the 
turn and 
river, Brown made a flush to send Lavine home with 14th place money.
Brown is at 1,750,000 following that, tying with Aadam Daya for the chip lead.
With 14 players remaining, our money is on us not playing down to a winner tonight.
We'll just have to see what happens though.
Level: 25
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 5,000
Players are now on a 10 minute break whilst the powers that be color up the chips.
Nicholas Mitchell raised it up to 75,000 under the gun, and it folded right around to Eric Baldwin in the big blind, who announced all in. As it happened, this put Mitchell all in too - both players were in possession of exactly 646,000 at the start of the hand.
So, off to the races.
Baldwin: 
Mitchell:
Board: SMACK! 
Baldy was left with nothing, and Mitchell doubled up in full.
14 players remained as they headed into the color up break.
