Dinner Break

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Players are now on a 60-minute dinner break and will return at roughly 8 p.m. local time.

Todd Hansen Eliminated in 16th Place ($18,531)

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Erkut Yilmaz raised to 1,200,000 from the hijack before Todd Hansen three-bet to 3,500,000 from the button, leaving himself around 500,000 behind.

In the small blind, Georgios Sotiropoulos thought for a moment before moving all in for 18,000,000. Yilmaz folded after about 30 seconds, and Hansen called.

Todd Hansen: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Georgios Sotiropoulos: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

"How about some diamonds," Hansen asked. He got one on the {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop, but the {a-Hearts} on the turn left him drawing to a gutshot straight. The river came the {9-Hearts} and Hansen was eliminated after his second deep run in a massive field in the past week.
