The remaining 780 players are heading on a ninety-minute dinner break.
See you all back here at 8:20pm PST.
Table #92 was home to some big name players including Brian Micon, Phil Hellmuth and Jeff Shulman. If you remember last year, Shulman hired Hellmuth as his poker coach after making the November Nine in the Main Event.
The stage was set for a teacher-student showdown, but before it could happen, Shulman found himself all in with 
against the 
of the player in the big bling.
The flop of 
left Shulman drawing thin, and the 
on the turn finished left him drawing dead. The 
was run out on the river and Shulman made his exit after saying goodbye to Hellmuth.
After a limp from an opponent in the cutoff, Michael Mizrachi pushed his last 3,300 in from the small blind and was called by the limper.
Mizrachi: 
Opponent:
The board ran out 
to give Mizrachi the double to 7,000 just as we close in on the dinner break.
As tables are broken and combined, new and interesting table rosters are emerging. Table #53 is an example of a table with a lot of chips and heavy hitters, playing host to Eric Baldwin, Nick Binger, and 2009 Casino Employees gold bracelet winner, Andrew Cohen.
