Morten Mortensen defended his small blind against a raise by Dzmitry Urbanovich while Maria Lampropoulos in the big blind got out of the way. On the flop, Mortensen check-called a bet worth 98,000 before the appeared on the turn.
Mortensen checked again and Urbanovich continued for another 235,000. Mortensen then check-raised to 580,000 and Urbanovich folded. The Pole then got into a button clicking war with Jack Salter and forced a fold to regain some chips.
One table over, Jonathan Wong raised to 95,000 and picked up no less than three callers in the hijack, cutoff and big blind. The flop was checked to Wong and his bet of 155,000 claimed the pot without resistance.
Local player Michael Skeldon has been on an absolute tear today, converting his stack of 2.2 million to more than 9 million during the first four levels of play.
Skeldon crossed the 9 million mark in the very last hand before his one-hour dinner break. Skeldon bet 235,000 into an already healthy pot on a flop, and Ema Zajmovic made the call. She wouldn't quite commit the remaining 900,000 in her stack when she was put to the test on the turn, and Skeldon dragged the pot.
The split dinner break enters the second phase, as the vast majority of tables in the main room have been sent into their 75-minute dinner break. Only five tables have seen their players return to the action for level 33 and the Marquee room is also back now as well.
A raising war resulted in the all in and call between Niall Keaveney and Khurram Javed, and the latter was the player at risk for around 1,500,000 with the . Keaveney only had ace-queen and the board came to let the kicker play.
Keaveney took another hit to the stack and lost almost half of it.
Max Silver is out after losing one of those coin flips that it takes to win tournaments. Silver got his last 800,000 into the middle with against the of Niall Keaveney, and the jacks were looking mighty fine after the flop. The brought a flush draw for Keaveney, and with the on the river, Silver was out.
A raising war ended up in the shove of Viliyan Petleshkov with his short stack from under the gun and Terry Schumacher called before then facing the shove of Jimmy Guerrero for 1,278,000 out of the small blind. Schumacher, who has had a pretty decent year 2017 thus far with a win at the Aussie Millions and a third place in the $ 10,000 No Limit Hold'em WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale, eventually called to put two opponents at risk.

The board ran out and the queen on the river improved Guerrero, who jumped above average as a result.
With chip counts in the millions, stacks are generally voluminous in the tournament room of Dusk Till Dawn. Lucas Greenwood, however, can fit his stack into the palm of his hand, after he lost a couple of sizable ones just now.
First off he bet 115,000 into a pot of 280,000 on a flop. Will Kassouf made the call and November Niner was able to snatch the pot with a bet of 217,000 on the turn.
Two hands later Jonathan Spinks made it 90,000 to go from the hijack, Tamer Kamel called the next seat over, and Greenwood opted for a raise to 265,000 out of the small blind. Spinks called, but Kamel had other plans and moved all-in. Greenwood gave it a long think before his hand found the muck and Spinks also surrendered.
After paying his ante the next hand, Greenwood was left with exactly 17 chips - all of them blue and worth 100,000 each. Thus the Canadian is still faring well in this Millions Main Event.
Jonas Lauck was among the chip leaders heading into Day 2, but has since dropped into the middle of the pack. He just got into a raising war with Ben Farrell in the hijack and three-bet to 275,000 in the cutoff. Farrell then made it 475,000 and Lauck shoved to pick up a call by Farrell.
