Reginald Roberts opened for 2,000 in the cutoff and got called by the button player, David Gonzalez, to see a flop.
The dealer fanned out A♠5♥4♦. Both players checked. The turn 10♠ fell and Roberts led out with 3,000 and got called once again.
The river 8♣ went check-check. Roberts showed K♣J♥ for king-high. Gonzalez mucked conceding the pot to Roberts.
Todd Hatch raised to 2,500 from under the gun and was met with a three-bet from Colin Wickersheim to 7,600 from the small blind, and Hatch called.
The dealer fanned a 4♠8♣3♦ flop. Colin Wickersheim bet 4,000, Hatch then raised to 10,000. Colin Wickersheim went all in for roughly 60,000, and Hatch found the fold.
David Metzger made a preflop raise from the hijack, and Eric Hicks made the call on the button, putting himself all in as he had only two big blinds left in his stack. The blinds got out of the way, and the cards were placed on their backs.
Eric Hicks: J♣J♦ 
David Metzger: Q♥Q♠
Hicks couldn't believe his luck as he had ran right into it at the point of elimination, but the flop 8♦5♥J♠ brought him hopes of staying alive in the tournament. The A♦7♥ runout secured him a more than triple up, as he picked up the blinds and ante, but with less than ten big blinds he will need to keep on spinning up to make a deeper run in this event.
The players are on a 60-minute dinner break.
Action will resume at approximately 7:40 p.m. local time.

James Mullaly went all in preflop from the button, and Peter Kiem made the call. Greg Ostrander had a decision, but ultimately folded his hand.
James Mullaly: 10♥10♠
Peter Kiem: 5♥5♠
Mullaly's hand held on a board of 4♠2♣8♠4♣J♦ and he received a very important double up to keep himself afloat. Ostrander wasn't best pleased about having folded his pocket sixes, citing the side pot he could've won against Kiem.
Steven Sobel raised to 2,300 from early position before being greeted by a three-bet from Christopher Nelligan to 7,300 in the small blind. Sobel made the call.
The dealer spread a K♠2♦J♥ flop, and Nelligan decided to bet 8,500, which got a fold from Sobel. Nelligan tabled A♠A♥. "I was hoping you had Ace-King," commented Nelligan.
"I really wanted to have King-Jack there," was Sobel's response.
Stuart Taylor opened for 2,200 from under the gun and got three callers in Russell Head on the button, Troy Donaldson in the small blind and Mark Lillge in the big blind.
The flop came 3♥5♠7♠ and after checks from the blinds, Taylor continued with 4,000. This time, only Head called to see the next card.
Persistent, Taylor shot out another 5,000 on the 3♦ turn. Unfazed, Head called again. Finally on the river 10♦, Head pushed back with a 12,000 bet after another 5,000 bet from Taylor. Taylor flat called.
Head showed J♥J♠ which made Taylor muck his hand.
