There are approximately 70 players remaining and that's roughly how many will be heading on a 40-minute dinner break, here at the 2012 ANZPT Sydney Main Event. See you back here soon.
Exactly 69 players have returned from the dinner break. The plan is to play two more levels, have a quick 10-minute break and then play another two levels. That will be it for the night and will bring us close to midnight. We are thinking that will still leave at least three tables of players left, so expect tomorrow to be a long day as we play down to a winner.
Tobin Ryall went to a flop against one player in a raised pot. On the flop, Ryall led for 15,000 and his opponent made the call. The hit the turn and Ryall again led, firing out 26,000. The player then shoved all in and Ryall gave a small little sigh as he flicked out a chip to call.

The river bricked and it was a very nice pot for Ryall.
Early chip leader Tam Truong has recently been moved to the Oasis Room and we are thinking that he'll wish that was never the case. A quick look at his table suggests that he has lost a lot of chips. As we looked at his stack he said, "just shipped him 300,000," as he pointed toward Oliver Speidel.
Mishel Anunu and Theodor Lothman have been rumbling for much of the day. It seemed like eventually one of them was going to eliminate the other, and that's just what happened. It all started with a recent hand that saw Anunu make a massive call on a flop. In that hand, Lothman shipped 100,000 in the middle holding and got picked off by Annunu who held just .
A few hands later, Anunu held and Lothman was all in holding . No help came for the Swede and he made his way out of the tournament.
With only a handful of eliminations needed until the money bubble bursts, we thought we would remind you that 54 players are guaranteed at least $3,688. Of course, the bubble isn't a huge deal when everyone should be hunting for the $226,812 first place prize.
Jim 'MrBigQueso' Collopy is sitting behind one of the biggest stacks in the room, with most of those chips coming courtesy of hitting a jack on the flop when he held against .
Collopy sits at the same table as Mishel Anunu who also has one of the biggest stacks in the tournament.
