Break With 26 Players Remaining

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jose Drilon doubled for 69,000 when his 76 beat the A10 of William Teoh thanks to a KQ85A runout, which improved Drilon to a flush eventually.

Moments later, Ricardo Torres jammed the Q9 and Alessandro Taranto called with the A6 out of the blinds. The AQ582 board brought an end to the run of Torres.

"I take from them and we give to you," the Italian joked towards the table chip leader Lijun Zhang.

One further all-in showdown took place when Kanishka Samant flipped for the last 51,000 versus Hal Rotholz.

Kanishka Samant: 77
Hal Rotholz: AQ

The mighty pair remained ahead all the way on the J92J4 board as Samant celebrated his double-up. Their table then prepared to move and switch to the live stream setup as 26 contenders headed into a scheduled 15-minute break.
