Jeff Papola was waiting by the table to restart play as soon as break started. He'd been willing to skip it all together, but Men Nguyen wanted a break and had actually been asking to take it sooner.

This is becoming familiar. Men Nguyen gets short, then he doubles up, no problem. This time, he was down to 2.3 million when Jeff Papola raised to 240,000. Nguyen moved all in for another 2.1 million or so, and Papola looked him up.
