The action has been frantic since returning from the dinner break, with the 54 remaining players whittled down to 34 over the last 90 minutes and two levels.
George Mitiri is still the man to catch with a monster stack of 444,000, with next closest rival looking to be Ehsan Amiri who has around 260,000 in chips with Sosia Jiang rounding out the top three with a stack of 220,000.
Other notables still in the running with chips include Ryan Bownds (189,000), Dean Blatt (180,000), Vincent Huang (155,000) and James Obst (110,000).
One man who will be sticking around a little longer is Charlie Hawe, who earned a full double at the expense of tablemate George Psarras.
It was Psarras the man driving the initial action, making it 8,000 to go from the button with Hawe shoving all-in for 75,000 exactly from the small blind. After asking for a count Psarras made the call and the cards were turned over.
Charlie Hawe: 
George Psarras: 
The 
runout saw Hawe pair his ace and climb to 153,000 after the hand, while Psarras dropped down to 112,000.
"I thought you were shoving light, but you had a little more than I thought," said Psarras to Hawe as the latter raked in the pot.
