We earlier reported that registration for this tournament was open for the first 8 levels, but its a little bit longer than that. After the 8th level of play there's a 45-minute dinner break and players are able to (re)enter for the entire dinner break as well. The dinner break starts around 8:50pm, so players will be able to register till around 9:35pm local time.
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier was eliminated from the tournament after shoving the cutoff for his last 12,000 holding suited only to run into the
of Kevin MacPhee in the big blind. The board ran out clean and Mercier made his way to the registration desk where he promptly reentered.
Meanwhile, Erik Seidel was eliminated from the tournament. Something tells us he'll join the ranks of those who opt to exercise their single-reentry option.

John Juanda and Thomas Muehloecker just clashed in a big pot, which ended with a little back and forth between Juanda and Chance Kornuth.
We picked up the action with the flop showing , as Juanda checked to the Austrian pro. Muehloecker bet 2,800 from the cutoff seat, and Juanda called from the big blind.
The turn brought the , and Juanda checked. Muehloecker bet 6,500, which was called by Juanda.
The river completed the board with the , and Juanda checked a third time. Muehloecker paused before moving all in for 24,400, and Juanda went into the tank.
Eventually, Juanda called, and Muehloecker showed the for the nut flush to double up.
Juanda threw his cards face down towards the muck, and that's when Kornuth jumped in.
"It's an all-in showdown," Kornuth said, "Both hands need to be shown."
Initially, Juanda didn't say anything, but as Kornuth pressed the matter and the tournament director was called over, this season's European Poker Tour Barcelona winner responded.
"You didn't show your cards in the same situation earlier," Juanda said, "Why are you being a jerk?"
"You are right, but I'm just trying to get an edge," Kornuth said, admitting that someone should've pointed out that he had to show in that prior situation.
"He has to show," Kornuth continued.
The tournament director indeed ruled that Juanda had to show his cards, and the was tabled.
Juanda wasn't happy, and Kornuth added, "You tried to do the same thing as me, and the only difference is that I didn't get caught."
