Martin Kabrhel has been informed by the tournament manager that his clock has been reduced to ten seconds.
Opponents have called the clock on Kabrhel more than ten times in a bit more than two hours of play.
The tournament manager gave Kabrhel 30 seconds for the first ten times, then dropped it 20 seconds before the latest move down to ten.
On a flop of K♣Q♠6♠, Matthew Cosentino called off his remaining stack against Noel Rodriguez.
Matthew Cosentino: A♦A♥10♣8♣ 
Noel Rodriguez: Q♦10♠9♠6♦
Rodriguez was ahead with his two pair and flush draw, but as the board ran out 4♣, then 4♥, his two pair was bested by aces-up, and Cosentino presented his stack to be doubled.

The remaining ten players have gone on a 15-minute break.
Due to the pace of play and voiced complaints about a disparity in the pace of play between the two tables, the clock will continue to run normally during what is called "soft hand-for-hand."
Roussos Koliakoudakis had blinded down to just over a million chips when he raised all in over the open of Noel Rodriguez. Rodriguez made the call.
Roussos Koliakoudakis: A♠J♣J♥6♠
Noel Rodriguez: A♣A♦3♣3♥
Koliakoudakis was disappointed to see he was so far behind as the 8♥4♥6♣ flopped, but the 6♥ turn gave him three of a kind, to the chagrin of the rest of the table. The Greek held as the 7♠ completed the board, awarding him a full double.

Martin Kabrhel limped in from the cutoff and Caleb Furth checked his option in the big blind. The flop fell K♠10♠6♦ and Furth checked to Kabrhel who bet 150,000. Furth check-raised the pot to 800,000 and Kabrhel moved all in. Furth quickly called off his stack of 1,160,000 and the cards were tabled.
Caleb Furth: A♠9♣8♥2♠
Martin Kabrhel: K♣K♦J♦5x
Kabrhel flopped a set of kings but Furth had straight and flush draws to hit. The A♣ on the turn changed nothing but the 7♥ on the river gave Furth a straight and Kabrhel was forced to pass over a double up.

Jeremy Trojand opened under the gun to 350,000 and was called by Noel Rodriguez and Mark Aridgides, in the small blind.
Three ways, the wheel spun A♥K♣J♦ and Aridgides checked, Trojand bet 300,000, and was called by both his opponents.
The turn paired the board with the A♠ and all three players checked.
The river brought the Q♦ and, once again the flop checked through, prompting Rodriguez to table J♠J♣10♠8♣ for jacks full of aces.

Fabian Riebau-Schmithals: A♦J♦10♦5♥
The board ran out K♦4♠2♣J♣10♣ and Furth rivered a straight to score a double up and stay alive.
