Players have vacated their seats and headed for a 15-minute break.
The hand was already underway with Mark Edwards and Emmy Tran with their hands and chips in the middle of the felt.
Mark Edwards: A♠K♠
Emmy Tran: A♦10♦
Edwards had Tran dominated and maintained his lead when the flop dropped 5♦Q♣J♦. Tran was hopeful, however, as it also gave her a flush draw. The tides changed when the 6♦ fell on the turn completing Tran's flush. The river 6♠ didn't change anything sending Edwards to the rail.
While waiting for the tournament dealer for his payout slip, he asked, "Will I make it to PokerNews?" And the answer to that would be a yes.

Alan Fidellow: 8♥8♣
Jared Anderson: A♣A♥

Phil Hellmuth might one day no longer be the only family member to have won World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. That day could even come this year.
Philip Hellmuth III, the "Poker Brat's" son is grinding away at the 2025 WSOP, and he's looking to carve his own legacy in poker. PokerNews caught up with the younger Hellmuth on Sunday to find out if he desires to follow in his father's footsteps, and if he shares in the Poker Hall of Famer's unrivaled passion for winning bracelets.
Alexander Kartveli limped from the cutoff, and Jorge Rodriguez decided to go all in on the button for 1,114,000. Jeremy Wien called from the big blind, whereafter Kartveli folded.
Both players showed their hands:
Jorge Rodriguez: A♣J♣
Jeremy Wien: 6♠6♥
The board showed: Q♦7♥9♠9♥K♥
Unfortunately, it was the end of the story for Rodriguez; the board didn’t help him, while Wien doubled up with two pair.
