Tim Reilly has despatched of Konstantin Puchkov after coming back from the break "feeling refreshed." It's been a tough couple of days of grinding for Reilly but he's now cashed in the last two events he's played in and must be full of confidence.
Jude Ludemann has managed to navigate his way to heads up on his table. Not only that, but he has a 2-to-1 chip advantage over his sole opponent, a nice position to be in.
Tim Reilly managed to scrape into the cash in Event #4 last night after nursing a short stack for the vast majority of the day. He's got a few more chips here in Event #5, but there's still a long way to go as his table has four other players at it and only the table champion progresses.
A sea of floor calls from dealers swept the room. After a few moments, they announced that they were pausing the clock until they figure out how to deal with a slight problem. That problem? Many tables are short-handed and there are a ton of stacks that are out of play.
After an explanation of how they are going to proceed to the players in the room, the floor is going to each table in the room and instructing the dealers on what they need to do. Sold seats will remain in play and out of play stacks will be put in the well.
Tournament Director Jack Effel had this to say about the situation on Twitter:
