With 25,000 already in the middle, and a board of 
, action was heads up. Roee Abitboul fired 12,500 from the cutoff. His opponent, in the big blind, called.
The 
completed the board. The big blind checked to Abitboul, who tossed a single chip into the middle, announcing "all in". The big blind snap folded after clarifying that Abitboul was all-in. Abitboul scooped the pot.

The break has been extended as the tournament staff needs more time to color up in the Bally's tournament rooms.

Just before the break, we caught Francois Pirault all in with Aces, from the cut-off. He was playing this hand versus the player at the button.
"I bet 3,500 before the flop, then I just 3-barrel 7,000 on the flop 
, 12,000 on the turn 
and all-in on the river 
. My opponent had something like 35,000."
And not enough in his hand to beat 
for the French player, who's now got more than three starting stacks.
Matt Berkey was in a multi-way pot where 9,000 was in the middle on 
, the small blind lead for 2,000 and Berkey moved all-in for his last 30,700 or so.
The other players all folded and he increased his stack back up to approximately 44,000.
After a small blind call from his opponent, Rafael Reis raised to around 6,000 from the big blind. His opponent reraised to 25,000, Reis moved all in, and the small blind called off.
Reis was way ahead with his 
against the 
of his opponent.
The flop was a little scary for Reis, 
but after the 
and 
fell, it secured the Brazilian the full double-up.
Preflop action saw 12,400 go into the pot. With three players still in the hand, the flop came 
. Lawrence Engerman checked from the big blind. A bet of 6,000 came from early position. Both the cutoff and Engerman called.
The turn brought the 
to the board. Engerman wasted little time before announcing "I'm all in" to the table, with around 40,000 left. The early position player called for the 15,000 he had remaining. The big blind got out of the way, as the players showed their hands.

Engerman had turned a straight. The river changed nothing, and Engerman scooped the pot as his opponent was sent to the rail.
