Na última mão antes do intervalo para jantar Fernando Brito dobrou para as 45,000 fichas. As fichas acabaram no centro ainda pré-flop e os 
de Brito estavam à frente do par de oitos do adevrsário.
Sem nada na board, Brito tem agora 45,000 fichas.
The third level of Day 2c is in the books, and that means it's time for the 90-minute dinner break. When players return, they'll play two more levels before bagging and tagging for the night. They will then join the survivors from Day 2a/b under the same roof tomorrow at 12 p.m. local time for Day 3 action. Of course, that's far off. For now, let's head to the dinner break by taking a look back at what transpired in Level 8.
Doug "WCGRider" Polk began the day on a short stack but managed to spin it up a bit in the first two levels of play. Unfortunately for the online star who won a bracelet this summer, his Main Event came to an end when his pocket nines failed to win a race against Yun Fan's big slick. Likewise, Gus Hansen was felled in Level 8 when he got the last of it in with a straight draw on the flop against an opponent who held two pair. Unfortunately, "The Great Dane" failed to get there.
Another player to fall was 2009 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Cada, who was the victim of a rather nasty cooler. It was a tough pill to swallow, but the fact that Cada won a bracelet earlier this summer no doubt helped soften the blow. Speaking of consolation prizes, Argentinean Rafael Saul had to take solace in his home country's World Cup win as his WSOP Main Event came to an end after his opponent made a royal flush.
As for some of the stars in the field, Phil Ivey continued to add to his stack, while NBA player Paul Pierce took a hit after running ace-king into pocket kings. Still, both are headed to dinner knowing they've got plenty of chips to play with upon their return.
While you wait for play to resume, check out this video featuring 2005 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Hachem:
A player under the gun opened to 1,900, and Paul Pierce three-bet to 5,000 in middle position. The under-the-gun player made it 16,900 to go, and Pierce asked how much his opponent had behind.
"You can let this one go," the player said. "I'll show you."
Pierce decided to jam it in after brief consideration.
"He's all in?" the player said. "S***."
He called off his last 26,300, though, and he was in solid shape.

The board ran out 
, causing a player who was on the button to curse, saying he folded jacks to the two raises in front of him.

O

de Fernando.
Após esta jogada subiu às 27,000 fichas, entretanto perdeu algumas e está neste momento com 23,500 fichas.
Nuno "Fellini" Teixeira tem agora por volta de 76,000 fichas, "estou card dead" foi o que me disse.
Depois do "calor" dado para fazer subir a stack, agora é hora de ter alguma calma, a "malta" não dá muito crédito ao luso.
Com apenas 14,000 fichas José Carlos Brito acabou all in de e encontrou um call num adversário que segurava .
A board não ajudou e "Brito Jr." está fora do Main Event WSOP 2014.
Back in 2009, Joe Cada topped a field of 6,494 players to win this very event for $8,547,042. Cada, who became the first player to follow up his Main Event win by capturing a bracelet since Carlos Mortensen (something he did this summer when he won Event #32: $10,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship for $670,041), was hoping for another superb showing, but his hopes were just crushed in a most-classic of coolers.
It happened over at one of the secondary feature tables when a player opened for 1,800 and Dennis Longoria called. Cada then three-bet to 5,500, the original raiser called, and Longoria sprung to life with a four-bet to 20,100.
Cada thought long and hard before moving all in for 55,000 or so, and action was back on the original raiser. He tanked for a long time before releasing what turned out to be pocket queens. Longoria then snap-called with . Unfortunately for Cada, his was crushed and he failed to find help. It's worth noting though the board contained a queen, so things could have played out very differently for Longoria.
As it was, he eliminated Cada and increased his stack to 165,000.

Gus Hansen began the day with a very solid stack of 90,000, but it seemed to be smaller every time we walked by and checked on it. Finally, he was no longer in his seat, so we asked the players at the table what happened. Apparently, Hansen got the last of it in with a straight draw on the flop against an opponent who held two pair, and Hansen failed to get there.

We noticed that WSOP bracelet winner Doug "WCGRider" Polk was no longer in his seat, which led us to believe that he had been eliminated from the tournament. Sure enough, a quick check with Ola "no_Ola" Amundsgard confirmed that Polk had fallen.
As Amundsgard told it, Polk shoved from middle position for his last 15,000 or so holding 
and Yun Fan woke up with in the big blind. An ace on the flop was all it took to eliminate one of online poker's most fierce competitors, and while Polk is no doubt disappointed, he leaves the 2014 WSOP with a coveted gold bracelet.
