Only one hand was played in that level still and Ivan Luca defended his big blind to a raise of 17,000 by Bryn Kenney. On the flop, Luca checked and Kenney continued for 13,000, which the Argentinian called. The turn was checked through and Luca bet the river for 100,000 to force a fold.

Right after the nine remaining players were sent on a 15-minute break, in which the T-500 chips will be raced off.
