Players will be on dinner break for the next 60-minutes and will return to Level 15 with blinds 60,000/120,000 and a 120,000 big blind ante.
On the last hand before the dinner break at the feature table, Koray Aldemir limped in from the small blind and Ben Heath checked his option. The flop came J♦6♦5♠ and Aldemir check-called a bet of 200,000 from Heath.
The turn brought the Q♣ and Aldemir checked again. Heath fired out a bet of 700,000 and Aldemir stuck around to see the 9♠ on the river. Aldemir checked for the third time and Heath announced "all-in" as the big stack. Aldemir instantly called off his stack of 2,310,000.
Heath showed 4♥3♠ for a missed straight draw while Aldemir turned over Q♦J♥ for two pair to double up.

Espen Jorstad just lost a sizeable pot to Chance Kornuth after a failed bluff attempt from the Main Event champion was picked off by Kornuth. The two were back at it again when Kornuth opened to 225,000 and Jorstad pushed all in for around 2,800,000. Kornuth quickly called and had Jorstad dominated.
Espen Jorstad: A♦4♦
Chance Kornuth: A♥Q♣
The flop fell 10♥8♦5♦ to give Jorstad a flush draw to go with his one live card. However, the K♣ and A♠ was not enough for Jorstad to survive as Kornuth picked up the rest of his chips.

Dan Smith raised it up from under the gun and Dustin Bailey just called on his left. Artur Martirosian was next to act and three-bet to 800,000. Smith just called and Bailey jammed all in for 3,550,000. Martirosian reshoved all in and Smith contemplated for a moment before folding.
Dustin Bailey: A♠10♠
Artur Martirosian: J♠J♣
The flop came 10♣9♦4♣ and Bailey flopped top pair but Martirosian was still in the lead with his pocket jacks. The 5♥, 5♣ runout changed nothing and Bailey was eliminated.
"Have a good night guys. I can go play roulette now," Bailey said on his way out.

In a hand between Dan Smith and Artur Martirosian, with both players having close to 10,000,000 in chips, Smith opened to 200,000 on the button and Martirosian called from the big blind.
The flop rolled out 8♣K♣7♥ and Martirosian checked over to Smith, who put out a continuation-bet of 100,000. Martirosian responded with a check-raise to 450,000, which Smith called.
Martirosian continued applying pressure on the 6♥ turn in the form of a bet of 1,450,000 and, after some deliberation, Smith made the call.
The river was no different after the dealer laid out the 4♣, prompting Martirosian to put out a bet of 3,600,000. Smith would go in the tank momentarily before deciding on the fold.
