The remaining players are now on a 75-minute dinner break. Players in Horseshoe will return from break at around 8:30 p.m., those in Paris will be back seven minutes earlier at approximately 8:23 p.m.
Here's a look at some of the highlights from the level before dinner.
Stay tuned to PokerNews to see who can finish with the biggest stack on Day 2d.
Arthur Schiavo left the tournament area with a very loud "fuck" after his flopped set of fours went down in flames, up against ace-king which went runner-runner for the superior full house.
Two tables over, Julien Duveau got it in for 16,300 preflop with the 7♠7♥. Dann Turner looked him up with A♥10♠ and hit broadway on the K♠J♣5♥7♦Q♣ runout.
"Terrible. I had thirty five tournaments and no cash," Duveau sighed on his way out.

With the board showing 9♣5♦2♥6♥3♣, Jonathan Ronquillo was all-in for 75,000 with a pot of around 135,000 evolved by then.
His opponent Kunal Punjwani was deep in the tank and the clock was called on him. Once the thirty second countdown started, Punjwani made the call and was shown the bad news. Ronquillo on the button had 8♦7♥ for the nuts and Punjwani briefly exposed 4♣4♦ for an inferior straight.

Kenny Nguyen opened to 2,700 from middle position and was called by Scotty Nguyen in the cutoff and Michael White in the big blind.
White checked to Nguyen on the 4♣10♣4♥ flop and he continued for 3,300. Scotty Nguyen folded, but White called.
The 5♥ fell on the turn and White check-called an 8,500 bet from Nguyen before both players checked on the 5♠ river.
White tabled J♠10♠ for tens and fives and Nguyen folded what he claimed to be a pocket pair to send the pot White's direction.

Christopher Kline raised to 3,000 from middle position, and after it folded to Thomas Kornecook, he defended the big blind and made the call.

After the A♠ on the turn, Kornecook again check-called a bet of 8,000 from Kline.
When the 9♥ hit the river, Kornecook then led out for a bet of 30,000. Kline quickly folded and gave the pot to Korecook.
