and running into the 
of David Kluchman. The board ran out dry and Varkonyi's run came to an end shy of the dinner break.

Phil Collins continues to work on a return trip to the WSOP Main Event final table following his sixth-place finish from a year ago.
Just now Collins was involved in a hand versus a single opponent in which they'd built a pot of about 11,000 when the flop came 
. Collins' opponent checked, and acting with the same deliberation we grew accustomed to watching in the past, Collins paused for about a half-minute before betting 6,500. His opponent quickly called.
The turn brought the 
and another check from Collins' opponent. Collins again took his time before tossing out a big bet of 35,000 — just a touch under the size of his opponent's remaining stack. His opponent pushed the rest of his chips in, and Collins called the remainder.
Collins showed 
while his opponent had 
for jacks and a flush draw. The river brought the 
, and another player hits the rail.
After the hand, Collins jokingly tried to tip the dealer, but he refused explaining how he couldn't take any tips.
The table laughed, and Collins continued to grin as he collected the chips, adding to a stack that has now tipped up over the average.

Action started with Jonathan Seelbach raising it to 5,000 in the hijack. Faraz Jaka was next to act in the cutoff, and he raised it up to 12,500. The player on the button made the call, and it folded around to Seelbach, who called as well.
The flop came down 
, and Seelbach checked to Jaka, who lit the fuse on the fireworks. He bet 18,000, and the button raised to 45,000. Action was on Seelbach, and he tanked for about 30 seconds before assembling a raise to 90,000, and sticking it in the middle. It was on Jaka now, and he thought for about 30 seconds as well before grabbing some chips. At first it looked like they were calling chips, but he grabbed for more and put in a four bet to 135,000!
The button was clearly pained/confused by this bet, as he shook his head vigorously before folding his hand. It was back to Seelbach, and he took about 10 seconds before announcing all in for about 270,000 total! Jaka folded his hand almost instantly, and a wave of chips was sent Seelbach's way.
After that hand, Seelbach is up to 510,000, while Jaka drops to 200,000.
