Players are on break now, the remaining 45 players will continue their play in 15 minutes.
Action was picked up with four players in a hand on a flop of 8♥Q♥4♣. With action passed to him, Albert Wooten took a few seconds before betting 55,000 into the pot. Xie Wang snap-shoved all-in for 940,000 which made Alyssa Hennager and John Divecha fold.
Wooten went into the tank. With Wooten visibly deep in thought, Wang said, "I'll show." After hearing that, Wooten decided to concede his hand and the pot to Wang. As promised, Wang showed 8♦8♣ and said, "I've got the nuts. I'm so lucky." Wooten fisted the air happy to have avoided a possible disaster.
As she was scooping the pot, she was excitedly relating how she started the day with 34,000 and how she just kept doubling up to build her massive stack.

Timothy Ferreira opened with a min-raise preflop and was three-bet by John Divecha on the button. Ferreira four-bet ripped it for around 250,000, which Divecha called.

Ryan Darby open-jammed in middle position with his short stack worth around 50,000. Action folded to the big blind Tracy Doss who made the call putting Darby at risk.
Ryan Darby: Q♠J♣
Tracy Doss: A♥3♠
Darby stood up the moment he saw the cards tabled, looking resigned. But the flop dropped J♠10♣10♠ bringing a smile to his face. The turn Q♦ made him sit back down as he happily waited for the board to be completed with a 2♦ river.
Darby scooped the pot explaining his all-in saying he knew his cards would be coming and that he had "selective telekinetic powers."

When it folded to Michael Reisman on the button, he raised to 140,000 with just 13,000 behind. Keegan Mccann jammed from the small blind with a covering stack, and after the big blind folded, Reisman committed the last of his chips.
Michael Reisman: A♥Q♦
Keegan Mccann: K♠10♠
Reisman was slightly ahead with ace-high, but the 10♦8♦9♣ flop put Mccann into the lead with top pair. The 7♦ turn offered Reisman a load of outs he could hit to survive. He managed to find one as the J♦ landed on the river to give him a flush, and he doubled up at the expense of Mccann.
