Players are now on a 75-minute Dinner break.
1,125 players of the 4,732 entrants remain, as late registration closed at the end of Level 12.
Players will return to Level 17 with 4,000/8,000 blinds and a 8,000 big blind ante.
Scott Seiver won his fifth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and in doing so may have secured his place in the Poker Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible next year.
Seiver, a longtime pro from New York who poker fans may remember from his appearance on the Big Game in the early 2010s, took down Event #10: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship (8-Handed) for $426,744 after an intense and grueling final table battle that eventually saw him denying Jonathan Cohen a second bracelet.
Seiver turns 40 next April and thus will be eligible for the Poker Hall of Fame, a club home to other five-plus bracelet winners like Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Erik Seidel and Phil Hellmuth.
Not only is the Hall of Fame already on Seiver's mind, it's the 39-year-old's primary motivator.

Players just returned from dinner break and Alexander Charron just enjoyed some dessert, with a triple up to start the level.
Action folded around to the hijack, who moved all in for about 75,000. The player in the cutoff called with chips behind, and Alexander Charron called from the small blind for about 60,000.
Alexander Charron: Q♠Q♥
Hijack: Ax8x
Cutoff: A♣K♣
The board ran out 6♦10♦J♥9♥5♦, earning Charron the triple up, with his pair of queens. The cutoff won the small side pot with ace high.
