Nicolas Yunis raised to 4,900 before Carlos Mortensen moved all in for 30,300. The call was made by Yunis and the hands were turned face up.
Yunis: 
Mortensen: 
The flop was 
which directly improved Mortensen's hand to a pair of queens. The 
turn left Yunis with just the two remaining sevens and the 
river was not one of them.
Mortensen now has 63,000 while Yunis has 112,000.
Jonathan Spinks raised from the hijack to 5,000 before Rocco Palumbo moved all in from the cutoff for about 31,000. It folded back to Spinks who made the call to put Palumbo at risk.
Spinks: 
Palumbo: 
The board ran out a very dry 
and Spinks was shipped the pot. He now has 160,000 in chips.
Cards are back in the air with six levels of Day 2 still to play.
Level: 15
Blinds: 1,200/2,400
Ante: 400
The 113 (or less) surviving players are off for a one-hour dinner break. We'll play six more levels tonight, and play will resume just before 8:00 P.M.
We were walking towards James Akenhead's table, and saw him counting out a ton of chips. When we got to the table, we noticed that Jason James was counting out his chips, having just doubled up through Akenhead. James had 
and AKenhead was in the process of mucking 
. Given that the board read 
, we think that the money was in preflop. As a result of the hand, James has doubled up to 181,000, while Akenhead is left with 90,000. After losing the hand, Akenhead headed to the exit four minutes before the dinner break, needing a few minutes surely to collect his thoughts after that big hit.
Josh Arieh raised from early position to 5,200 before Victor Ilyukhin reraised from the small blind to 16,200. Arieh made the call and the flop was 
. Ilyukhin moved all in for 64,500 and immediately Arieh stood up and said "There is a real good chance I'm going to gamble with you here." Indeed he did.
Arieh made the call with 
leaving himself 37,500 behind. Ilyukhin had 
and was ahead in the hand. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
. With that double up, he reaches the 170,000-chip mark as we enter the dinner break.

Second to act, Robert Tepper raised all in for 15,900. Next to act, Bulent Uzun made the call as did Jeffrey Papola to the left of him. The rest of the table folded and Tepper was at risk with a chance to triple up.
The board ran out 
. Action was checked to the river when Papola bet 21,000. Uzun made the call and Papola tabled 
for a straight which was good for the side pot. Tepper, however, made a boat with 
and tripled up to 50,000. Papola sits with 135,000 while Uzun has 110,000.
