The players will now be taking their last 20-minute break of the day. The late registration period will remain open throughout this break and will close at the beginning of level nine.
The action folded to Patrick Clarke on the cutoff and he opened to 1,200. The player in the small blind three-bet shoved all-in for 8,900. It looked like a very close decision for Clarke, who mulled it over for about a minute before reluctantly passing. He still has well over double the average stack.
