Players will go on an hour-long dinner break at the conclusion of Level 21, after which the field will play another four levels before bagging up for the night.

John Torrez opened the hijack and then called when Dominick Sarle three-bet from the cutoff.
Torrez drew one while Sarle stood pat. Torrez check-called a bet from Sarle.
Torrez took one again and check-raised to put Sarle at risk of elimination.
Torrez decided to stay pat on the final draw, which put Sarle in a difficult position and he decided to break a badugi.
Torrez revealed 7♣6♦5♠4♥ and Sarle was already drawing dead as he showed 8♣3♦2♥. To add insult to injury, Sarle drew the 4♠ to make a worse badugi as he exited to tournament area.
