After losing about half his stack during the last level, three-time bracelet winner Perry Green put himself at risk, shoving on the turn against his heads-up opponent. Green got a quick folded and pulled in a pot worth a few thousand chips.
The tournament clock currently shows 1,685 entrants. More than 150 than the record set in 2015 at the inaugural Super Seniors event.
With 96 tables in action, there are about 955 players remaining.
Late registration remains open through these next two levels, closing at the end of the 90-minute dinner break following Level 6.
Now that the players are back from break, the last few tables in the Purple and Gold sections have been broken and play continues in the Tan and Orange.
Each time we have returned from break, at least one of the players has lost their seat. The floor calls out asking if anyone recognizes the player and a silence falls over the crowd until someone pipes up with their location.
As soon as their seat is found, the whole room starts a clap, maybe easing a bit of the embarrassment the player feels — something you likely wouldn't witness in any other event anywhere else in the world.

Two more levels are in the books and players have been rewarded with their second 20-minute break of the day.
It would be hard to pick two more influential and prolific characters in the story of poker than Billy Baxter and David Sklansky.
Baxter, a seven-time WSOP bracelet winner and sports-betting legend has 35 career World Series cashes totaling more than $1.2M.
Sklansky has three bracelets of his own but is more known for his brain and the books he has written throughout his poker career. Sklansky has $465,810 in career WSOP earning stemming from 41 cashes.
Both gentlemen have taken their seats, looking for their next big score.
Nível: 4
Blinds: 100/200

Gary Lucci raised a bet of 1,000 on the turn to 2,500 on a 
board. Another player in the hand made the call and the original raiser folded.
The river was 
and Lucci moved all in. His opponent snap-called and Lucci tabled 
for the nut-flush. His opponent nodded and turned over 
for the second nut flush and promptly departed from the table, his chips sliding over to Lucci.
