The 351 players still with chips have now left for a 90-minute dinner break. Play will resume about 8:15 PM local time.
Mandy Baker only had 4,500 at each of the first two breaks, but her stack has grown exponentially in the past two hours. We recently saw Baker putting in a preflop raise to 450 from early position and two players called to see a flop of 
. Baker led out for 750 and only the cutoff called. The two players then checked the 
turn and 
river, and Baker tabled 
for a pair of tens. Her opponent mucked, and Baker is up to around 24,000 chips.

A player raised from middle position, then it folded around to the small blind who shoved her short stack in the middle. Victoria Coren was in the big blind, and after checking her cards and studying her chips for a moment, declared she was reraising all in over the top, forcing a fold from the original raiser.
Coren tabled 
and her opponent 
. Immediately the all-in player began expressing doubts about what was to come, but the 
board meant she had survived.
"You worry too much," Coren said with a grin.

against an opponent's 
.
The flop came 
to give Gilmartin's opponent a set, though she had a diamond flush draw. But the turn was the 
and river the , and Gilmartin has been eliminated.
Silver lining... she's now free to do more interviews!

Danielle Anderson, who will be featured in the highly anticipated BOOM! documentary later this year (fingers crossed), just added some chips to her stack without seeing a showdown.
Action folded around to the player in the small blind, who called for 100 more, and Anderson raised to 600 from the big blind. The small blind called and the board rolled out 
. The small blind check-called Anderson's 600-chip bet, and the 
fell on the turn. The small blind checked again, but this time Anderson moved all in for 3,850. After some deliberation, the Anderson's opponent let her hand go, and she increased her stack to 5,900.
