[user139916]

Nível 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The 90-minute dinner break has commenced, Bruno Politano has continued to gobble up chips during Level 22.

Politano grabbed the chip lead with a monster set-over-set pot last level, and he’s stretched it in the two hours since. With 5.271 million in chips, he holds a wide lead over second place.

Benger picked up a big pot late in the level when he picked up against the of Bob Miller, busting Miller when he failed to find another jack.

Benger will have the opportunity to significantly chip up (or down) before the night is over, as he just got moved to one of the secondary feature tables with fellow hefty stacks Dan Smith and Tony Ruberto. Benger’s position is ideal, as he drew Seat 4, to the immediate left of Ruberto (Seat 3) and Smith (Seat 2).

The leader coming into the day, Matthew Haugen, has been unable to gain any traction, finding himself under the 2 million mark after he came into the day toting 2.8 million.

A noble cause received a nice donation, as David Einhorn was eliminated in 173 when his failed to improve against an opponent’s . Einhorn collected nearly $45,000, which will go to a charity called Robin Hood.

Former standout poker coach Brian Townsend ran his jacks into aces to bow out as well.

Blake Cahail (172nd), Rep Porter (174th), John Kabbaj (179th), Roland Israelashvili (180th), Jeff Madsen (188th) were among the other notable names exiting this level.

While you wait for the return of play, enjoy this timeless video from the 2012 WSOP Main Event where Mickey Doft races to count "the stack."

Nível 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

We found Dong Guo in the big blind facing a four-bet to 258,000 from Matthew Sedgeman on the button. Guo had made it 127,000, and he announced a "raise to 120,000."

The floor was called since there was far more than 120,000 in on the last raise.

"Ohhh," Guo said with a groan. "Dammit..."

The ruling was that Guo had to make the minimum raise, and Sedgeman called the 131,000 more, seeing a flop. Guo made sure to do the mental math out loud about the size of the pot this time, ensuring a correct bet amount of 355,000. Sedgeman moved all in after getting a count, and Guo snap-called.

"You have aces, right?" Sedgeman asked.

"Of course."

Sedgeman:
Guo:

Sedgeman was on the draw, but it was Guo completing a "flush draw" when the final two cards came and . Sedgeman took the unfortunate turn of events with a smile, shaking Guo's hand.

After the pot, Guo explained that the mistake was due to the way his native language works, in which numbers are said a different way than English.

Tuthill:
Loeser:

With Tuthill all in against Loeser and trailing for the third time in roughly 30 minutes, the flop gave Loeser additional outs to a flush.

The turn of the changed nothing, but when the was delivered on the river, Tuthill managed to stay alive for the third time as he doubled to over 650,000 while Loeser was left with just 180,000 in chips.
