The Tournament Director has announced that the dinner break has been rescheduled to the following break after Level 15 at approximately 6:20 p.m. local time.
The action was picked up as Nick Riali and his adversary were getting all of the chips into the middle, with Riali covering.
Opponent: A♦Q♠
Nick Riali: 9♦9♥
The flop of 6♥2♣4♠ was still a sweat for Riali, but the 9♣ on the turn sealed his victory as it left his opponent drawing dead and the 9♠ on the river was just overkill as Riali picked up the pot and bounty chip.
Level: 13
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 3,000
