We arrived at the table, just as the cutoff threw out a bet of 1,300. The decision folded to Nam Le on the button, who moved all in for his last 5,000 in chips. The raise was called, as both players tabled their cards.
Le: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
to see Le get rivered by a pair of tens, ending his main event run.

In blind versus blind action, Matt Affleck raised from the small blind to 1,800 and JC Alvarado called. Affleck continued for 2,600 on the 
flop and Alvarado called. Affleck led for 6,200 on the 
turn and Alvarado called. Affleck put out 13,200 when the 
came on the turn and this gave Alvarado reason to pause. After a three-minute tank, Alvarado ended up folding and Affleck mucked his hand.

The remaining players here on Day 2c are heading on a 20-minute break.
As play began in level seven, it would be crowd favorite Daniel Negreanu unfortunately falling to the rail when he lost a flip with 
against 
. However it would be the spotting of two newlyweds located on the same table that would draw lots of attention as Laura Green and Scott Born were separated by just one player.
NHL goalie Roberto Luongo would be one of the many players to fall this level when he committed on the turn with a straight draw but was unable to improve against his opponent's two pair. Chris DeMaci, Allyn Jaffrey Shulman, A.J. Jejelowo, Nam Le, Nick Schulman, Adam Levy and Bryan Devonshire all hit the rail while Dan Kelly's run at claiming Player of the Year points also were cut down when his 
was outdrawn by his opponent's 
when they turned a set.
Previous November Niners Rob Salaburu and Joseph Cheong, as well as Jean-Robert Bellande, Bryn Kenney and Carlos Mortensen all began mounting a charge up the leaderboard, but when the bell rang for break, Mark Kroon would still lead with a whopping 292,000 in chips.
With players now stretching their legs and enjoying 20 minutes away from the felt, check out this video Lynn Gilmartin recorded with Tom Dwan about his short-lived stay in the Main Event.
Level: 8
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 100
Chris Tryba has had a successful first two levels today, and after picking up a few more chips in a big blind defense has now more than doubled the 51,500 starting stack with which he began Day 2c.
The hand saw a button player raise to 2,000 and Tryba call from the blinds, then after a flop of all small cards — 
— Tryba checked and watched as his opponent bet 3,200. Tryba promptly fired a check-raise to 7,200, and after a quick recheck of his cards his opponent stepped aside.

We caught up with the action in a three way pot between Marvin Rettenmaier, Bryan Pellegrino, and Byron Kaverman on the flop, which had come down 
. Rettenmaier and Pellegrino checked to Kaverman, who bet out 2,700. Rettenmaier was the lone caller, and the turn brought the 
. Rettenmaier checked again, and this time, the bet was 6,600. He called again, then the river brought the 
.
Rettemaier checked a third time, and this time, Kaverman checked behind. A grimace went over Rettenmaier's face when he saw the check, as he tabled 
for flopped top set. Kaverman mucked, and Rettenmaier took down the pot, though he was surely hoping for more action on the river.

Jonathan Stark opened to 2,000 from middle position, and was called by Michael Mizrachi in the cutoff. The player in the small blind joined in, as the three saw the flop come 
. The small blind checked, before Stark threw out a 3,600 continuation bet. Mizrachi paused for a moment, before raising it up to 8,600. Both his opponent’s folded shortly after, as he took in the small pot.

We found John Phan, on the button, staring at an all-in check-raise from Gabriel Nassif in the big blind. The board read 
, and Phan had fired 4,000 only to see Nassif put him all in for his last 13,000 or so. Phan made the call after tanking for two or three minutes.
Phan: 
Nassif: 
"Come on, queen or jack," Phan implored the dealer.
The dealer burned and turned a 
to complete the board, giving Phan higher two pair.
"Whoo!" he said, pumping his fist.
