The remaining 118 players are heading on 60-minute dinner break.
See you back here at 7:50 pm PST.
Andy Bloch won't be getting his paws on that elusive first bracelet. He has just been eliminated from today's event.
The action folded around to a player in the cut-off who made it 6,500 to go. Matthew Waxman decided to apply the pressure from the small blind by three-betting to 18,800, but little did he know that his neighbor was braced to move all in from the big blind for 66,700 more.
"You probably have ace-king here," probed Waxman. "The only reason I'm even thinking about calling is because it looked like you were mucking before you did that stupid gesture."
"Ready for your headline?" smiled Waxman to your reporting team. "'Matt Waxman is a huge donkey'."
But, in the end, we'll never know if he resembles said animal in any way, as he eventually made the fold and his opponent picked up the pot.

Walking over to table 375 we found Peter Raimondi all in against Woo Shin and another opponent.
Raimondi: 
Shin: 
Opponent: 
The flop of 
left Shin drawing dead and Raimondi drawing to just two of the remaining tens in the deck.
The turn of the 
changed little, but when the river landed the 
, Raimondi launched to his feet in celebration as he raked in the pot to move to over 125,000 in chips.
They say you've got to win those coin flips (I'm sure exactly who "they" is, incidentally), and such was the case for Joel Bidnick when he came up against a similar sized stack with 
versus 
. On this occasion, however, the coin was winking at Bidnick as the board came 
to deliver him a timely, and crucial pot.
"I think I have exactly fifty," he claimed as he slid his stack into the middle.
Roland De Wolfe raised it to 5,900 from early position, only to be three-bet to 14,500 by Danish pro Frederich Brink Jensen in middle position. De Wolfe made the call. Both players checked the 
flop, but De Wolfe took it down with a bet of 20,000 on the 
turn. He now has 92,000, whilst Jensen drops to 92,000.
Rich Ryan opened to 5,600 from under the gun, and after the action slowly folded round to the big blind, he moved all in for 55,300.
Just as quickly as the hopes of the USA soccer team fell once Ghana broke free in extra-time, Ryan made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Ryan: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
to see Ryan double his opponent up while slipping to just 21,000 in chips.
"The Dude," as our field reporter described him despite being one of the few people to have never seen The Big Labowski, pushed all in from middle position for a gargantuan 57,000 only to be looked up by Ferosh Tailor in the big blind. Although The Dude could only muster 
, he will have been elated to find his cards alive and kicking as Tailor tabled a . But his joy was short-lived, however, as the board came 
to send him, and his suited connectors, home.
Tailor up to 180,000.
