William Stephenson raised 3,000 on the button, Rose Rodrigues announced all in for 23,000, Stephenson called.
Rose Rodrigues: 8♣8♠ 
William Stephenson: A♦8♥
Great start for Rodrigues as the flop came 6♠Q♥J♣, but the A♣ on the turn put Stephenson way into the lead, and the 4♣ eliminated her from the tournament.
Damien Mecheri, holding one of the shortest stacks returning from the break, went all in and consecutive hands. Then came the third.
Mecheri pushed all in, Claudio Martin called, and Christopher Gordon, went all in over the top. Martin got out of the way.
Damien Mecheri: K♥7♥
Christopher Gordon: A♣Q♣
Mecheri did not get the help he needed from a board that ran 5♣10♥J♣10♦6♦.

Jeremy Goldy was all in and at risk from the button for his remaining 11,500 having been called off by Francis Anderson from under the gun.
Jeremy Goldy: A♦Q♦
Francis Anderson: Q♥J♠
When Goldy saw the flop he remarked "Ive seen this story before", but he picked up an Ace on the A♣ turn.
Goldy held out on the K♦ river to seal his double up.
On a few tables across, Michael Connelly opened the hijack to 2,500 and David Rich called from the cutoff. Mitsuru Fujiwara moved all in for his remaining 9,900 and only Connelly called.
Mitsuru Fujiwara: A♣5♦
Michael Connelly: K♥10♥
Fujiwara held with Ace high, which was good enough to take the pot on the 6♦2♠9♥8♣3♠ runout.
The 2,690 players still with chips head to a 30-minute break; the third break of the day. During this break there will be a color up of the 100-denomination chips
Play was already underway with around 4,000 in the pot on a flop of A♣6♣Q♦. John Oconnell, on the button, shot out 4,000 after a check from Paul Tait in the big blind and David Schwartz under the gun. Both Tait and Schwartz called.
They all checked the turn J♣. On the river K♠, Tait fired 4,500 and Schwartz raised to 12,700 making Oconnell fold. Tait tanked as the break happened. He was asking how high Schwartz's flush was because he too had a flush.
Schwartz, however, was visibly suffering as he needed to head to the toilet as soon as possible. Tait attempted to get some information from Schwartz with table talk, but Schwartz was too preoccupied with suppressing his urge.
Tait even asked how much Schwartz had behind. Schwartz finally begged that whatever it was that Tait decided to please make it quick before anything untoward happened.
With Schwartz moving around and slightly stomping his legs, Tait folded. And as Schwartz headed to the toilet in a rush, he told Schwartz, bad fold.
In a matchup of players with a relatively even number of chips, Tomoyuki Yoshimiya was all-in against Mohammad Tak, with Tak having the covering stack.
Tomoyuki Yoshimiya: A♥K♦
Mohammad Tak: J♠J♦
Tak's Jacks were holding strong until Yoshimiya found a bigger flush on the river in a runout of 6♦7♣5♦3♦10♦, crippling Tak's stack.
In the next hand, Tak went all in with his last 4,200 chips. Quentin Girardet made the call.
Mohammad Tak: 9♠8♣
Quentin Girardet: A♠7♦
The runout K♣7♥2♣4♠10♠ gave Girardet the win with a pair of sevens.
Ruben Ramirez went all in as an underdog against Chuan Ooi.
Ruben Ramirez:Q♠J♣
Chuan Ooi: A♠Q♥
A jack on the flop gave Ramirez new life, but by the river he was done, with the board running out J♥4♠8♣2♦A♥, giving Ooi a pair of aces.
Action was picked up on the river, with a board that read 7♠9♣K♣10♦4♣. Tuan Nguyen had shoved his remaining 39,400 into a pot that consisted of 51,200. Dimitrios Nanos, the only other player with cards, was put deep into the tank.
Nguyen remained unmoving. His eyes, hidden by sunglasses, focused on the board and nothing else, as Nanos looked him up and down, removed then replaced his hood, and put his head in his hands. He repeated this process for an entire seven minutes (the length of the aptly named Time by Pink Floyd, for reference) before Orez Mokedi waved to the dealer, and signalled to his wrist. The dealer brought over the floor, and he let each passing second tick by, folding with just one left.
Some players at the table were visibly disappointed with the outcome.
