The 90-minute break means that action will resume just prior to 10 pm Vegas time.
The flop came
, Harrington bet 4,500, and Varkonyi called again. The turn brought the 
, Harrington bet another 12,000, Varkonyi pushed all in, and Harrington called. Varkonyi showed his 
to Harrington’s 
, and safely doubled when the 
river card fell.Varkonyi at 71,000 after the hand.
Bechtel pondered, then made it a total of 29,000. Varkonyi quickly folded, and McEvoy paused for only a few moments before announcing “All in.” Bechtel motioned with his hands as if, “Sure,” and announced his own all-in.

Bechtel:
Bechtel’s call had been for his last 35,600, and McEvoy, with 47,700 over Bechtel’s previous raise, had him slightly outchipped. Bechtel went stone-faced when the flop came

instead.With the addition of some small pots at the expense of the other players, McEvoy has jumped to roughly 120,000 in chips and a commanding lead entering three-way play.
