Players are now on their final 20-minute break of the evening. When they return play will resume at level 10 with blinds at 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 big blind ante.
The last two hours have been full of action and the pace of play has picked up now that late registration has ended. Below are some highlights from level nine.
The action was picked up in a pot of roughly 20,000 on a completed board showing K♥8♥3♦8♣7♠. Amirpasha Emami was deep in the tank after his opponent in early position bet 13,000.
After close to two minutes of thought, Emami tossed in the chips for a call. His opponent tabled 10♥9♥ for ten-high and Emami happily tabled A♥5♥ for the ace-high hero call to take down the pot.

Ryan Casaly bet 5,000 from middle position on a flop of A♠3♣8♠ before Chris Da-Silva, in the big blind, raised to 13,000.
Casaly called to the J♠ turn, where he called another bet of 13,500. The river came the 6♥ and this time Da-Silva slowed down and checked.
Casaly then fired out 16,000, sending Da-Silva deep into the tank. He ripped off his headphones and stood up from his seat, eventually kneeling back on his seat and leaning over the table. He eventually held up the chips to call and let them fall in the middle.
Casaly turned over A♥J♦ for two pair and Da-Silva threw away A♦3♦. "Nice turn," a frustrated Da-Silva said as he sat back down.

The player on the button opened to 3,000 and was called by Conrad Simpson in the small blind.
Simpson check-called a 3,500 bet from his opponent on the 6♠8♦J♠ flop and then put two red 5000-denomination chips into the middle when the 8♥ paired the board on the turn.
His opponent re-checked his hole cards and sent them into the muck — conceding the pot to Simpson.

A completed board of 5♥5♦4♥4♦J♣ was fanned out in a pot between Yoshikazu Fujita and Austin Yoo. Fujita had checked to Yoo, and the latter bet enough to put Fujita all-in for roughly 70,000 chips.
With the pot being worth over 100,000 chips at that point, Fujita had a serious decision at hand. Eventually, he put in the call and Yoo immediately flipped over his K♥K♦.
Fujita then quickly showed his Q♠Q♦, laughed, and said his goodbyes to the table as he left the Main Event in good spirits.
