Players are on break for 75 minutes to get dinner, and here's some entertainment while you wait.
Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has been mixing it up on Twitch lately, and we caught up with him during the EPT Grand Final. Negreanu was streaming on his laptop from his hotel room, and he was clearly having a good time playing $400/$800 8-Game.
After Patrick Leonard opened for 1,400 and Anthony Zinno called, Simon Higgins raised to 5,500 from the small blind. Quan Zhou was in the big and simply moved all in for roughly 60,000. Leonard folded, as did Zinno, and Higgins snap-called off for 30,000.
Higgins:
Zhou: 
Zhou was way behind, though he did pair up on the 
flop. Higgins was still a heavy favorite, but then disaster struck when the 
spiked on the turn.
"Yeah," Zhou exclaimed. To make matters worse for Higgins, the 
completed the board on the river to give Zhou quads. Higgins lamented his bad luck, collected his things, and exited the tournament just shy of the dinner break.

With around 7,000 in the pot and a flop of , Ilkin Amirov checked from the small blind and Huidong Gu did the same from the big. One more check by Ramin Hajiyev opened the door for Saneh Hanibael to bet 4,000 from the button, Amirov called, and that is when Gu woke up with a check-raise to 15,000.
Hajiyev folded, as did Hanibael, and then Amirov moved all in for 38,000 total. Gu made the call and Amirov discovered the bad news.
Amirov:

Both players flopped trips, but Gu's kicker was best. Amirov could still win with an eight, and of course there were chop opportunities, but none materialized as the
