It's time for dinner! And according to the floor staff, it's a world record - one hour and 40 minutes!
Why so long, you ask? Because the dealers are also racing off the 25 chips, which is eating into the players' break. Therefore, we'll be resuming play at approximately 8.25pm PST. See you then!

Brock Parker has just taken off a small pot off Australia's Tim Marsters to move up to 7,800 in chips as we approach the dinner break.
We caught the action between Marsters and Parker heads-up on a flop that read 
; Marsters check-raised after Parker bet after the flop, then did the same on the turn of the before the dealer produced the on the river.
Marsters checked out of frustration and Parker quickly fired out a bet. "Pretty sure that's the worst river card for me in the deck," he groaned before tossing his hand into the muck. Marsters is down to 4,500 in chips.
Zach Gruneberg has chipped up even further, now holding a stack worth more than 19,000 as play continues in Event #6 of the WSOP.
The action folded to Gruneberg who raised from middle position; the hijack reraised and the small blind called to make it three-handed to the flop of 
.
Both the small blind and Gruneberg checked before the hijack opened. The small blind flat-called, but Gruneberg check-raised his option. The hijack gave his hand up and only the small blind called, before check-calling Gruneberg's bet on the turn of the 
.
The small blind the checked on the river 
; Gruneberg fired out another shell and the small blind player furrowed his brow, puzzled as to what he might have possibly hit. Not that it mattered - the small blind eventually folded after 30 seconds - and Gruneberg raked in the pot, and just in time, as his table got broken down.
We can now confirm that the official number of entrants is 675, with 396 players remaining - including yet another notable to have appeared seemingly out of nowhere: Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi, who is currently on 12,700 in chips!
