Dinner Time: Brunson Busts, Geshkenbein Back Among the Leaders

Level 18 of the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event is in the rearview mirror, and the remaining 334 players are now on a 90-minute dinner break.

In the last two hours, we said farewell to the legendary 10-time WSOP bracelet winner and two-time Main Event champion Doyle Brunson. Brunson exited the Amazon Room to round of applause that slowly filled each corner from the Mothership to the Orange Section, and all the way to Purple. Texas Dolly gave an appreciative wave to the remaining players and the fans, then took to Twitter to tweet one simple word:

"Busted."

Joining Brunson on the rail were 2012 Octo-Niner Rob Salaburu, Lauren Kling, Dutch Boyd, and Grant Hinkle.

Near the end of the level, Vladimir Geshkenbein and Yevgeniy Timoshenko won large pots. Geshkenbein won a million-chip race against Italian Carlo Savinelli, pushing him up to 1.6 million chips, while Timoshenko called a massive river bet from Vimy Ha with just a pair of tens.

Action will resume at roughly 9:05 p.m. PDT, and we will have full chip counts for you shortly.
