The players are taking a well-earned breather after those last three levels. The numbers are shooting up with every passing moment, the swelling group of players at the registration desk keen to jump in the action.
One player still a touch fortunate to be in is Gergo Kozenkai, whose Ah-8d managed to survive an allin showdown versus Ted Gharabeigi’s Ac Js as the board peeled off a welcome Kc 6d 8c 6c Qs for the Hungarian.
He was back up to 17k after that with Gharabeigi down to 26k, with still plenty of play left in his stack.
The players will return in 20 minutes with 362 remaining from the now 454 entrants…
