It's time for the 90-minute dinner break. When the players return, they'll play four more levels before bagging and tagging for the night. Here's a look at some highlights from the last two levels of play:
A preflop raising war saw Brain Rast get all in for roughly 150,000 holding the against Noah Schwartz, who held the inferior . The flop gave both players a pair of kings, but Rast's kicker had him well out in front. Unfortunately for him, the spiked on the turn to give Schwartz two pair and the lead. The failed to help Rast and he fell just before the dinner break.
Meanwhile, Richard Yong's comeback was cut abruptly short when he was eliminated from the feature table. Unfortunately the details on his demise escaped us.
David Einhorn raised to 5,000 in early position, Toby Lewis called on the button, and Paul Klann defended his big blind. The dealer fanned , Klann checked, and Einhorn continued for 12,000. Only Lewis called.
The turn was the , Einhorn though for a bit then led out for 30,000, and Lewis called.
The river was a repeat jack - the - and Einhorn fired a third and final bullet worth 80,000.
"How much do you have left?" the Brit asked Einhorn.
Einhorn didn't budge, so Tom Dwan leaned over to get a look.
"About one-sixty," he told Lewis.
Lewis reached for chips, and tossed enough forward to make the call. Einhorn turned over for aces full of jacks, and Lewis frowned before revealing for jacks full of aces.
"Wow," Alex Venovski said under his breath.
"Wow," Einhorn echoed. "He just called?"
He turned to Dwan.
"He just called," Einhorn repeated. "I thought he had kings."
With approximately 35,000 in the pot and a board reading , Vanessa Selbst checked from the big blind and then called when Jason Mercier bet 22,000 from the button. Both players then checked the river and Selbst rolled over the for two pair. Mercier thought he won and showed the for a pair of aces, but he quickly realized the river did him wrong and he mucked his cards.
With 20,000 in the pot and a flop of , Sammy Farha checked from the hijack and Richard Anthony did the same from the cutoff. When the completed the board on the river, Farha led out for 14,000 and Anthony folded. It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us the chance to update any of you Farha fans out there on his status.
Despite winning that hand, Farha is still down quite a bit from the starting stack.
On a flop Freddy Deeb was all in for 90,800 more. Masa Kagawa, in the big blind, had already bet or raised to 32,000 but needed 90,800 more to make the call. After at least three full minutes of thinking he tossed in the chips. His was almost drawing dead though against Freddy Deeb's . With the on the turn and on the river about all of the spades were out there, but it wasn't good enough for Kagawa.
