The players have gone on their first 15-minute break of the day.
A player under the gun raised to 190,000, Robbie "Robbzilla" Ko to their direct left called, as did both the blinds.
The board came Q♦6♠5♦. Once checked to, the big blind now decided to take the lead for 400,000 finding only one caller in Ko.
The turn came the 10♦ and the big blind continued for an additional 500,000. Ko now chose to slide in a stack of blues, raising to 2,000,000 to which his opponent folded.
"I folded a queen" the big blind announced to the table.

Richard St. Peter was in the big blind as he jammed into his opponent when the full board read 9♦10♦5♣8♠4♣.
The player in early position considered whether to call or fold for a considerable amount of time.
"Okay, take it," St. Peter's opponent announced as he mucked his cards.

Oren Weiner raised from early position to 165,000. The player in the cutoff elected to shove all in for their remaining 360,000 to which Weiner called.
Cutoff: A♥J♥
Oren Weiner: A♣10♣
The first three cards came 4♦K♣8♣ giving Weiner a flush draw. The turn came the 7♣ giving Weiner the nuts prompting him to jump out of his chair in celebration, before promptly apologising to his opponent who was now awaiting their payout.
