Bob Mather was just interviewed by Jeff Platt, but shockingly didn't lose his next pot.
Mather and Daniel Neilson went heads-up to the turn on a board of 4♦2♥6♥J♣ when Neilson bet 4,000 from the big blind. Mather called in early position.
The river was the 9♦ and Neilson bet another 7,000. Mather snap-called with A♣A♠ and Neilson's cards quickly hit the card as Mather took down the pot.
Players are headed to their final 20-minute break of the night. See below for a few notable hands from the past two hours.

Heads-up on a board of 8♣Q♣2♠8♥, George Dolofan bet 7,000 from under the gun and an opponent on the button called.
The river was the 7♣ and Dolofan bet another 16,000. His opponent quickly called, then mucked when Dolofan showed J♣9♣ for a rivered flush as he built his stack up to 250,000.
On a board of 4♥6♦3♥, Gabriel Nastasa was sat in the small blind and check-called a bet of 2,000 from Niklas Astedt.
The J♥ on the turn and the 7♠ on the river got checked through. Nastasa took down the pot with 8♦8♣
Hal Marcus raised to 1,400 from under the gun and was called by Erik Perez in early position. Once it folded to the big blind, he made the call as well.
The flop came 2♦J♦10♥ and the big blind checked to Marcus, who bet 3,000. Perez folded and the big blind made the call.
The turn was the 7♦ and after the big blind checked Marcus bet 4,000. After grabbing chips to call, the big blind elected to fold his hand and give the pot to Marcus.
Middle position opened the action with a raise to 1,400. Mike Wasserman called from the big blind.
Action went check-check on 10♠2♥J♥ before middle position fired 2,000 on the 7♠ turn. Wasserman called.
The river 7♣ hit the felt, prompting middle position to bet again, this time for 4,200. After a short tank, Wasserman made the call.
"King-high," said his opponent. Wasserman flipped over 10♦9♣ for the winner.
As the players at the table recounted, Dan Shak opened from the cutoff and received calls from Erick Lindgren in the cutoff and Luke Martinelli in the big blind.
The flop came 9♦4♦4x. Martinelli checked, Shak checked, Lindgren bet 1,000, Martinelli raised to 2,800, Shak folded and Lindgren called.
The 2x turn did not complete the possible flush draw. Martinelli bet 3,000 and Lindgren called, leaving about 12,000 behind.
The double board-pairing 2x river also did not complete the possible flush draw. Martinelli shoved, covering Lindgren who called to put himself at risk.
Lindgren had A♣Q♥ for an ace kicker to the two pair on the board. Martinelli had flopped a flush draw with 5♦2♦ and made running trips to send Lindgren to the rail and take down a sizable pot.
