The final five players have reached the first break of the day.
Play will resume in approximately 10 minutes.
Wissam Gahshan raised to 250,000 with A♥8♣ on the button, finding calls from Ronnie Day in the small blind with K♣J♥ and Patrick White in the big blind with K♦8♠.
Gahshan followed checks from his opponents on the 2♥8♥K♥ flop with a continuation bet of 325,000. Day and White both called to see the J♣ turn.
Day checked again, with White taking the betting lead sliding out 500,000 chips. Gahshan called, as did Day to the 9♦ river.
This time all three players checked around, with Day tabling two pair to take down the pot.
Wissam Gahshan opened up the action with a bet under the gun with A♠5♠ to 250,000 and it folded to big blind Hunter McClelland.
When he looked down he found K♠Q♠ and that was reason enough for him to three-bet to 750,000. It didn't take too long for Gahshan to give up on the hand as McClelland collected the chips.
Hunter McClelland raised to 250,000 with A♣6♣ on the button and Wissam Gahshan called from the small blind with A♦7♦.
Both players checked the 7♥3♦9♦ flop, before Gahshan led out on the J♣ turn for 260,000. McClelland took a moment before making the fold, as Gahshan saw his stack climb back over the 3,000,000 mark.
In a battle of the blinds, Ronnie Day raised from the small blind to 360,000 and was called by Patrick White to his left.
Day continued for 225,000 on the 6♣7♥3♠ flop, with White calling to the 4♦ turn. The action repeated with Day betting 400,000 before both players saw the 9♦ river.
Day slowed down with a check, calling quickly once White moved all-in with the bigger stack.
Ronnie Day: 9♣9♥
Patrick White: K♦8♠
Day called White's bluff with trip nines, earning the full double thanks to his check on the river.

Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
It folded to small blind Patrick Day who put Justin Hotte-McKinnon all in for his remaining 455,000 chips. After a brief moment, Hotte-McKinnon pulled the trigger to call.
Justin Hotte-McKinnon: Q♦5♣
Patrick Day: 10♣7♥
The flop fell Q♠7♦2♠ and Hotte-McKinnen took the lead. He held on to the lead on the 8♠ turn but the 10♦ river ended the tournament for him.
Hotte-McKinnon was eliminated in 6th place and collected $35,000.
It folded to Ronnie Day and when he saw he was holding A♥K♣ he put his remaining 1,100,000 in the middle from the cutoff. Tournament chip leader Patrick White found A♠K♦ as well and put calling chips in the middle.
Ronnie Day: A♥K♣
Patrick White: A♠K♦
The board ran out 9♥3♠2♥3♣K♠ and White and Day chopped up the pot.
Wissam Gahshan raised to 350,000 from middle position and called when Justin Hotte-McKinnon raised enough to put him all in.
Wissam Gahshan: J♠J♦
Justin Hotte-McKinnon: A♠K♠
Gahshan connected immediately with the 9♥J♥K♣ flop, increasing his advantage with a set of jacks. The Q♥ turn brought Hotte-McKinnon some straight outs, but Gahshan survived the 2♥ river to double up.
