The players had a little bit longer in their break to celebrate Julien Sitbon's WSOP Gold Bracelet ceremony.
The Frenchman took down Online Event #18: $2,000 Freezeout Championship to claim his first bracelet to add to his glittering resume.
Everyone in the Paris Ballroom stood up to listen to La Marseillaise, while a delighted Sitbon enjoyed his moment in the spotlight.
Two players saw a flop of Q♣7♠10♠. Maria Konnikova bet 1,500 from the cutoff, and was called by a player in the under the gun seat.
The turn came a 9♣. The under-the-gun player checked, leading to Konnikova betting another 2,500, which was called again.
The river was a 4♥ and both players checked.
The under-the-gun player showed 4♠6♠ but Konnikova tabled A♥9♦ to take the pot.

Mike Johnson went all in from the cutoff, for 7,200. Ren Lin, on his immediate left, paused for a second before declaring, "No gamble, no future!" as he made the call.
