Nível 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

What the dealers get up to when all the players are on dinner break

While players go off on breaks, the dealers must remain behind, sitting at the tables among the silent stacks.

Just before players returned from dinner for Level 4 today, PokerNews photographer Neil Stoddart decided to help make the dealers' wait more fun by snapping a few photos of them, including this one in which they appear as airplanes flying in formation.

You could almost feel the Amazon Room about to break away from the rest of the Rio and take off into the Vegas night as Neil snapped the photo.

We caught up with the action just as Ali Eslami was calling off his remaining 15,325 preflop after getting into a raising war with one other opponent.

Eslami: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Clubs} {10-Spades} {6-Hearts} {4-Spades} {10-Diamonds} and Eslami doubled up to just above the starting stack.

Farha Thriving

Action folded to Sam Farha who limped from the cutoff. Ryan Lenaghan followed suit on the button. The small blind completed and Vanessa Selbst checked her option out of the big.

The flop came {7-Hearts} {10-Spades} {6-Spades} and the small blind checked. Selbst took the first stab at the pot with a bet of 800. Farha and Lenaghan both called and the small blind folded.

The {3-Hearts} turned and Selbst slowed down, checking her option to Farha. Farha bet 4,500 and Lenaghan called. This time Selbst opted to muck her cards and we were heads up to fifth street.

The board completed by pairing the board with the {3-Hearts} . Farha bet 7,000 and Lenaghan called. Farha showed the {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} for a turned straight and Lenaghan mucked his hand.

Farha is now sitting pretty with over 100,000 in chips.
