The remaining 246 players are taking their first break of the day, with the action set to resume in 20 minutes.
This is the final opportunity for players to jump in, with late registration closing upon the completion of the break.
Manh Nguyen raised to 8,000 in the cutoff and Alex Rocha called in the small blind. Lawrence Brandt then three-bet to 32,000 in the big blind, and only Nguyen called.
The flop came 5♥3♥A♦ and Brandt moved all in. Nguyen called for his last 80,000.
Manh Nguyen: A♥Q♣9♥8♣
Lawrence Brandt: A♠K♣10♠9♣
Both players had flopped top pair, while Brandt was ahead with his king-kicker. The K♠ turn improved him to two pair, and the 9♦ river sealed Nguyen's bustout.
Ben Yu raised to 10,500 in the cutoff, and Tamer Kamel called in the big blind.
Kamel check-called a bet of 13,000 on a 2♣8♦9♠ turn, but changed tactics on the J♥ turn, leading out for 35,000.
Yu spent a couple of minutes considering the bet, but chose to fold.
Daniel Bedson and Benjamin Eilers were heads-up on a board of K♥7♠4♠2♥ when Eilers bet 45,000 from the button. Bedson called in early position.
The river was the Q♠ and Bedson led out for 95,000. Eilers called, and Bedson showed A♠J♥5♠3♦ for the nut flush to win the pot.
Karim Lehoussine raised to 10,000 on the button before Daniel Negreanu reraised in the small blind. "Your my idol," Lehoussine said as he called for his last 22,000.
Karim Lehoussine: A♠Q♦8♠7♦
Daniel Negreanu: A♥A♣8♥4♥
The J♠Q♣K♥ flop gave Lehoussine some outs with a pair and straight draw, while the turn was the J♥. The river was the 4♦ and Negreanu finished with two pair to win the pot and send Lehoussine to the rail.
Motoyoshi Okamura opened to 10,500 from early position and was called by Michael Hahn from directly behind and Noah Schwartz in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Schwartz checked to Okamura, who continued for 13,000 on the K♠6♣A♠ flop. Hahn called and Schwartz let his hand go.
Okamura barreled for 35,000 on the 8♣ turn and Hahn again called.
The 5♥ completed the board and Okamura paused before sizing down for a bet of 30,000. Hahn immediately shook his head and flung his cards into the muck — conceding the pot to Okamura without a showdown.
Francisco Perez Moreno raised to 10,500 on the button and called when Pakinai Lisawad three-bet to 34,500 from the big blind.
Lisawad continued for pot, putting 75,000 into the middle on a 2♣Q♦9♦ flop, leaving just 1,000 behind. Moreno raised, and Lisawad called.
Pakinai Lisawad: A♥A♦Q♠6♣
Francisco Perez Moreno: J♥9♣8♦5♠
Moreno earned the check mark on the 10♣ turn, having improved to a straight, sending Lisawad to the rail before the K♦ had even completed the board.
