Elan Lepovic raised from early position to 8,000, and Richard Gebhart made the call from the big blind. The flop was 9♣6♣A♦ and Gebhart checked, while Lepovic bet out 9,000. Gebhart wanted to see the turn and called.
On the turn 4♥, Gebhart took the lead and bet out 25,000. Lepovic called.
Both players checked the river 10♦ and Lepovic tabled A♠4♠ for two pair, and Gebhart tabled A♣9♦ for the better two pair.
Larry Wagner opened for 10,000 and got called by Kevin McBride in late position. Adam Richardson in the big blind had other things in mind and shoved all in for 61,000. Wagner got out of the way, and McBride called for a showdown.
Adam Richardson: Q♠Q♣ 
Kevin McBride: A♠K♥
The flop came 6♣J♣10♦. McBride's outs increased with a gutshot straight draw, but with Richardson holding two queens, it made another queen coming out highly unlikely.
The runout 5♦6♦ didn't help McBride at all. The pot was pushed to Richardson for a double up.
During the last break, the floorman was searching for the oldest remaining player in Event #48. That honor went to none other than Vince Burgio at 90 years young, a legend of the game with over $2 million in reported tournament earnings. Burgio won a WSOP gold bracelet in 1994 in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud Split event. A member of the Seniors Poker Hall of Fame, he had the honor of announcing, "Shuffle up and Deal!" to commence play after the break.
Moments after the restart, a three-way all-in situation occurred involving Kennon Buckmaster in the hijack with 21,000, Cindy Fifield in the small blind with 33,000 and Richard Reichard in the big blind, who had them covered.
Kennon Buckmaster: J♥J♣
Cindy Fifield: A♣10♣
Richard Reichard: A♦Q♠
Buckmaster cheered after she hit a full house on 5♦K♥K♦2♥K♣ to triple up. The whole table cheered with her, including Fifield who was eliminated on this hand.
Jose Totel announced all in for 16,000 from early position, Jose Orozcogomez called in the cutoff and the blinds folded.
Jose Totel: A♦10♣
Jose Orozcogomez: K♣J♣
Totel was flopped dead as the board came 2♣4♣Q♣7♣6♥, and he was eliminated.
David Kang raised from early position to 13,000, and Patrick Harshbarger, in the small blind, moved all in for his last 25,000. Kang made the call.
Patrick Harshbarger: 5♣5♦
David Kang: J♠10♠
The board brought Kang a jack on the turn as it ran out 9♣Q♣3♥J♦2♥, and Harshbarger hit the rail.
When the 1,137 players in the $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold’em Championship returned to their seats after the break, the screens displayed 1,139 players remaining.
However, the tournament director announced that two players had been eliminated before the break, meaning the money bubble had already burst and everyone left was in the money!
