Theo Tran has taken a bit of a hit to his big stack recently. We watched him and one opponent take to a 
flop. Tran's opponent led for 14,500 and Tran cut out a call. The turn would see Tran's opponent pick up the heat, whereby Tran would opt to get out of way, sending his cards into the muck.

Scott Clements' stack was slipping but he won a nice pot without showdown just now to reverse that trend.
He opened to 9,000 from the hijack and went on to bet 9,500, 23,500, and 65,500 on each street. The final board read 
and his opponent in the big blind stuck with him all the way until the river where he tank-folded.

The players have been sent on a 60-minute dinner break.
Level: 18
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 500
The plan for today was to play 10 levels or reach the final table of nine. With 63 players remaining it's more likely that we'll be playing ten level for a finish around 1:00 AM.
These are some of the players who busted just short of making the dinner break. As you can see, this includes prominent players Jim Collopy and Jason Senti.
