Tournament staff announced that there won't be a break at the end of level 14 and instead, another 22 minutes of level 15 will be played until the clocks are stopped at 10.25 p.m. local time. The color up break will then take place and action is set to resume at 11 p.m. local time.
On a recent pass of Ryan Dodge's table, he told us that he had 1.8 million chips. On closer examination of his chips, however, instead of clean stacks of 20, his chips were stacked in stacks of 18.
"Woah," said Dodge, counting one out. Lo and behold it was a stack of 18. "I feel like I've had a bad beat!"
Despite this 'bad beat,' Dodge still sits on almost 1.6 million in chips.

On a board reading 
Elilton Gouveia was deep in the tank considering an all in river bet from Olivier Chaume. The pot had about 225,000 in the middle and the shove was for roughly 230,000.
Gouveia said to himself out loud "he checked the flop" a few times while contemplating the decision. His tablemates assured him that he could take his time. After over five minutes he started to turn his cards over and at the same time put a stack in the middle to indicate a call. He turned over 
for a set but Chaume flipped over the 
for top set to deal a crushing blow to Gouveia.
