Dinner Break
Level 6

All players are now off into a 90 minute dinner break and we have 207 out of 876 players remaining according to the screens. Back around 20:20 Vegas time.
Up And Down
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Matthew Pitt has arrived at the table of Danielle Barille and sat down next to her with a short stack after "donating the chips to the table fish" on his previous table. John Taylor remains active on his table, but the last attempt of busting an opponent was not crowned with success.
He opened to 925 from under the gun and then called all in for 4,100 with the 
. The button showed 
and immediately spiked a king on the flop to secure the double up.
Have Racks, Will Travel

Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Antonio Bonilla is our chip leader and we weren't sure how we've missed him thus far. He did say that he was at his eighth table of the day, however, so that may explain it.
He gets ready to move as soon as he sits down at a new table. "I bring my own racks now," Bonilla said.

Another Penalty
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Two players had reached the river and they both checked. The last player to act turned over the king high straight, the stone cold nuts as it turned out, and the floor was duly called. Even though he protested that he had never met the other player and was not soft playing this is severely frowned upon.
The ruling was a full round penalty. With five minutes to go before the dinner break it looks like he will be first in the queue for food with some extra time to contemplate this lesson.
Taylor Adds Some Back
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
After our previous update, John Taylor lost some chips but just found an add on for 4,000. He raised and then called the all in of a short stack for 3,975 chips with the 
, his opponent on the button had 
. The 
flop saw the button improve, but the turn improved the better hand preflop. The river completed the board and the two of them shook hands.

Player Gets a Penalty
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
A player, we won’t name him, asked where the bathroom was and got directions. He was in the small blind and as the cards were dealt he checked his hand and dashed off so he would miss the least amount of action.
This is strictly against the rules as there was still action ahead of him, and as a floor man was passing he asked to be informed by the dealer when that player returned. He will face a penalty of one hand.
Don’t leave the table if you have cards and there is still action pending.
Stewart Stowed Away
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Ty Stewart got the remainder of his stack all in preflop from the cutoff against Danielle Barille on the button. He needed help with the 
against the 
but the dealer showed no mercy on the 
board.
Stewart wished all players on the table good luck and then went back to his normal duties at the World Series Of Poker.

Harding Doubles After Scary Good Flop
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Josh Harding raised all in from late position for 4,750 and the big blind made a quick call. They were racing as Harding turned over 
and his opponent had 
.
There was an ace in the window and king right behind, and Harding cringed as his neighbor was telling him that he folded queen-jack. The case jack completed the flop, however and Harding just needed to dodge four outs.
The board completed 
and Harding found a much needed double with his set.
