Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Just before the last break, we happened upon a big pot involving three players. We're not sure of the action, but we do know there was 50,000 or so in the middle on a board reading . Jaspal Brar, who was in the small blind, had already acted, and Minnesota's Kou Vang had his last 24,300 out in front of him in the big blind.

The under-the-gun player was debating what to do, and ultimately settled on a fold. Brar then hit the tank for a solid five minutes before sliding in a call. Vang's face dropped as his bluff with the had been called. Indeed, Brar made a nice call with the and was awarded the pot while sending Vang back to the Midwest.

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

As if Table 1 wasn't tough enough, Day 1 chip leader Eric Tracy has occupied an empty spot there and on a hand that ran five minutes into the break he would tangle in a sizable pot with Linglin Zeng. According to players at the table, Tracy opened, the small blind flatted, and Zeng reraised to 6,500. Only Tracy called.

The flop came and Zeng led out for 8,500. Tracy raised it up to 25,500 and Zeng would tank for five minutes while players like Amit Mahkija and Adam Levy looked on. Finally, Zeng called.

The turn was the and Zeng checked to Tracy who bet 40,500. Zeng didn't take as long this time and released her hand. Tracy exhaled visibly and went off to take his break, his stack much healthier at 207,000. Zeng dropped some more and was at 210,500 at the end of the hand.

Last Break of the Night: Ivey Continues to Thrive; Hellmuth Falls & More

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The fourth level of Day 2c has just come to an end, and that means it's time for the last 20-minute break of the day. When they return, the remaining players will play one more level before bagging and tagging for the night. As usual, the post-dinner action was fast and furious as the pace of eliminations picked up.

One of the first to go in Level 9 was Anna Khait, who made a full house only to be beaten by a superior one from Kyle Bowker. Likewise, 13-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth saw his Main Event dreams come to an end in back-to-back hands. Others who fell in Level 9 were Jennifer Harman, Scott Epstein, Shawn Buchanan, and Bryan "The Icon" Micon, just to name a few.

Of course not everyone was so unlucky. Todd Brunson picked up pocket aces to score a double, while Phil Ivey continued to send people to the rail and increase his stack, though he didn't do too much in the orbit we spend with him. We also learned about Barry Greenstein's favorite films, but if you want to know what they are you'll have to click here.

Cards will be back in the air shortly. While you wait, check out this video where various pros tell you what they would do with $10 million.

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We found Brad Booth shoving all in for 17,100 over a bet of 5,000 from Andreas Hoivold in a tiny pot on the river. The board read , and Booth and Hoivold began talking as Hoivold tanked.

"He's never calling," Booth said. "There aren't even cameras around. And don't let me talk you into it, either."

"Let it go, and you have enough chips for another orbit or two," Booth added.

"Probably should," Hoivold responded. "But you need six-seven to beat me."

"Guys, he's 100 percent laying down," Booth said. "Let's go, next hand. Clock."

The floor arrived, and as the ten-second countdown began, Hoivold dropped in a call. Booth instantly flipped for trips, and Hoivold was left very short.
