Players are now on their first 15-minute break of the day!
Right before the break we caught a bit of dialogue between Gavin Smith and Men "The Master" Nguyen who are sitting at tables right next to each other. Smith yelled out, "Men, do you tweet?" to which Nguyen replied "Do I drink?"
Smith laughed and said "I know you drink... I mean Twitter. Do you tweet?" Nguyen shook his head and said no.
Level: 3
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 0
Just before the break, a huge hand developed that resulted in the elimination of Kunimaro Kojo. It began with a series of preflop raises and reraises that ultimately saw Kojo all in with 
against the of his unknown opponent. The board ran out an uneventful 
and Kojo made his exit from the $10K Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship late in Level Two.
