Time for the second 20-minute break of the day.
Dominik Nitsche has his stack up close to 20,000 in chips as the fourth level comes to a close.

"I've only ever seen you lay down premiums," he said.

With the rather skinny 3,000-chip starting stack in this event, it's no surprise to see a lot of early casualties.

WSOP Bracelet Winner James Dempsey has found himself on a bit of a heater to start the day here.
The Brit told the PokerNews live reporting team he found aces and flopped a set in the early levels to push up close to 20k already.
