The remaining players are heading on a 90-minute dinner break. Play will resume at approximately 8:25 p.m. (PDT).
The third level of Day 1a of the Main Event was a big level as many players ascended up and down the leaderboard. Raymond Ezzie was about to hit the 100k mark before his opponent's four-bet jam for 60bb with spiked against Ezzie's .
Over on the feature table as Eric Worre continued to amass chips, high stakes player Bill Perkins found a double when he was all in with against on a flop. Perkins spiked the on the turn and doubled through with quads back to nearly starting stack.
Bruno Fitoussi, Sean Jazayeri and Alberto Sapiano would all hit the rail, while Steven Gee's run at making three consecutive deep Main Event runs would come to an end when his couldn't outdraw his opponent's . After Gee took 9th in 2012, he backed it up with a 24th place in 2013, but unfortunately it ends there as Gee's performance in those years rivals Dan Harrington and Grey Raymer's performances back in the early 2000's.
However the story of the level would be Nick DiVella's rise to the top of the leaderboard as the first player to reach the six-figure club. Earlier in the day DiVella took a sizeable pot off Mike Matusow to move to roughly 42,000 before slowly building up to around the 60,000-chip mark. Then with a bet on the river holding a set, DiVella scooped a pot to send him to 100,225 before ending the level with 93,900. However it would be Jon Broderick who won - as quoted by his tabled - "won 40 or 50 pots" to end the level with 140,075 in chips.
Go get some grub and see you all shortly.

Jason Mercier has just been knocked out of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event. Mercier's summer was filled with big swings as he busted right before the money in the $50,000 Players' Championship and on Day 1 of the Big One for One Drop.
There were also highlights as Mercier cashed in three WSOP events, including a third place finish in the $10,000 2-7 no-limit single draw for $99,313 and second in the Bellagio 100k for $1.6 million.
Just now Mercier hit the rail and we asked the players at his former table what had happened. The player under the gun, Alex Simic, raised to 750 and Mercier three-bet to 1,925. The action folded back to Simic, who called.
The flop came down and Simic led out, Mercier raised and Simic called. On the turn a blank hit and Simic put Mercier, who started the hand with around 22,000 chips, all in. Mercier called all in with and he was up against .
The river brought no help and Mercier was knocked out before the dinner break.

Ole Schemion was first to act under the gun and he raised — as if he would do anything else — to 700. One player folded, Craig Varnell called and then the action passed around to Jamie Roberts in the big blind, who called.
A draw-heavy flop was checked around to Varnell and he bet 1,150. Roberts called the bet, but Schemion steppped out of the way.
Both Roberts and Varnell checked the turn, then Roberts led for 2,750 and instantly folded when Varnell moved all-in for around 7,500.
