The 35 players have been sent on their first 15-minute break of the day.
"Alex, rate your games from best to worst," Chino Rheem said to tablemate Alex Foxen.
"No-Limit Deuce, PLO, and No-Limit Hold'em," Foxen replied.
"It's funny, you said the opposite of what I thought you were going to say," Rheem added.
Meanwhile, Carlo van Ravenswoud raised to 1,200 in middle position and Mike Wattel three-bet to 4,000 in the hijack. Xavier Kyablue called in the cutoff, as did Van Ravenswoud.
Van Ravenswoud and Kyablue drew one, while Wattel stood pat. Van Ravenswoud then led out for 8,100 and Wattel called, while Kyablue raised to 22,000. Both opponents folded.
"Xavier's playing the game!" Rheem shouted out.
John Cynn raised to 1,200 in middle position and was called by Toby Boas in the cutoff and Brian Breck in the big blind.
Breck drew three, while Cynn and Boas took one. Cynn then bet 3,500, while Boas raised to 15,000. Breck quickly folded, and Cynn tanked for a minute before also giving up his hand.
Stephen Moreschi had opened under the gun when Chris Moneymaker defended his big blind and drew one card. Moreschi remained pat behind, seeing Moneymaker lead out with a bet of 3,500.
Moreschi quickly called for Moneymaker to table 9x8x7x6x4x for the worst possible nine. Moreschi had the second-worst nine with 9x8x7x6x3x, and raked in the pot with a smile.
Ryan Hoenig raised to 800 in middle position and Jennifer Harman called in the hijack. John Monnette then three-bet to 3,500 on the button, and only Harman called.
Both players drew one, and Monnette bet 15,000. Harman quickly called, and Monnette turned over 8x6x4x3x2x. "8-6 perfect," he said, and Harman mucked.
Chino Rheem took his seat and asked if one is allowed to limp in this game.
"I'm not going to, I just wanted to know," he said after getting an affirmative answer, and he tossed in a raise to 900 under the gun.
Alex Foxen then called on the button, and Aaron Kupin followed suit in the small blind, but David Lambard seized the opportunity to three-bet to 5,000.
"There's always one piece of sh*t that f*cks everything up," Rheem playfully stated as he folded, giving Lambard a friendly pat on the head afterward.
Foxen also let go of his cards, after which Kupin entered the tank.
"Well, I don't know what you have," he said before he folded 3x3x3x face up to forfeit the pot without the need for a draw.
David Stamm raised to 1,200 in the hijack before Brian Breck moved all in for 9,500 in the big blind. Stamm called and stood pat, while Breck drew one.
Breck was drawing with 7x5x3x2x and caught a Jx. Stamm could only show a J-9 and handed over the double up.
Ryan Hoenig raised to 1,000 in the hijack and John Monnette called in the small blind. Caitlin Comeskey then three-bet to 7,000 in the big blind, and only Hoenig called.
Comeskey stood pat, while Hoenig drew one. Comeskey then bet 4,200, and Hoenig came back with a raise to 26,000. Comeskey folded, and Hoenig took the pot.
