Sam Higgs opened for 8,000 under the gun only to have Vincent Wan three-bet to 28,500 from the cutoff. Nathan Pan flatted from the big blind, Higgs got out of the way, and it was heads-up action to the 
flop.
Pan checked, Wan moved all in for approximately 25,000, and Pan snap-called.
Pan: 
Wan: 
Pan had flopped top set to pull ahead of Wan's aces, and it held as the 
appeared on the turn followed by the 
on the river. Wan exited empty handed in 10th place, which means the final nine players will combine to a single table to play out the money bubble.
Since returning from the break the final 10 players are playing things on the safe side. They're five-handed though, and the blinds just went up, so we're guessing something will give sooner than later. When it does, the final nine players will redraw to one table.

Players are now on a scheduled 15-minute break.
A preflop raising war resulted in Mike Watson and Jason Gray getting all the chips in the middle. The latter, who finished runner-up to Jeff Lisandro yesterday in Event #2 AU$1,650 Pot-Limit Omaha, was te player at risk.
Gray: 
Watson: 
As we've seen so many times today it was an aces-versus-kings situation, and like in most of those cases, the aces held after the board ran out 
. Well actually both players made a flush, but of course Watson's ace-high flush was best.
After Richard Ashby was eliminated by Sam Higgs in unknown action, a big hand was brewing between 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel and German pro Ismael Bojang.
It began when Higgs limped under the gun and Duhamel raised to 9,500 from the button. Bojang then three-bet the size of the pot to 33,800, Higgs folded, and Duhamel thought for a bit before making the call. When the flop came down 
, Bojang bet 25,000 and Duhamel thought for about 60 seconds before releasing his hand.
Jonathan Duhamel opened with a raise from the button and Daniel Negreanu and Richard Ashby called from the small and big blinds respectively. The 
flop saw Negreanu lead out for 9,000, Ashby folded, and Duhamel called to see a 
turn.
Negreanu bet again, this time 24,000, and his fellow Canadian came along to see a 
completed the board on the river. Negreanu slowed down with a check, but called off when Duhamel shoved.
Negreanu showed 
for a rivered set, but it was no good as Duhamel had made a straight with 
.
Negreanu came close to some precious WSOP POY points, but not close enough. He immediately jumped into Event #6 AU$1,650 8-Game Dealer's Choice, which is taking place across the room.
Last level Brian Roberts doubled through Mike Watson, a hand that left the latter with just 1,500 in chips. Amazingly Watson was able to work that stack back into contention, and in a fitting twist of fate, he just eliminated the man who had crippled him in the first place.
We missed the acton unfold, but we do know Roberts got his last 17,000 or so all in preflop against Watson.
Watson: 
Roberts: 
The 
flop delivered Roberts a flush draw, but he watched helplessly as the 
blanked on the turn followed by the on the river. Roberts took his leave in 14th place while Watson chipped up to 95,000.
