Richard Tuhrim defended his big blind against a raise by David Laka and the duo checked through a flop. On the turn, Tuhrim checked and folded to a bet of 85,000 by Laka.

David Peters won the last two hands on his table, first in a three-way pot against Asi Moshe and chip leader Jeremy Wien, before taking on John Amato. The latter raised to 55,000 on the button and Peters came along from the small blind. The flop and turn went check, check, and a bet of 120,000 by Peters on the river forced a fold.

Players then headed on a 15-minute break, in which the T$1,000 chips will be raced off.
