The players are back in their seats after taking an unscheduled break from play. What we can tell you is that Shaun Deeb and Gus Hansen spent a few minutes mingling separately with some of their railbirds hanging out watching while Will "The Thrill" Failla, Jason Somerville and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier walked about 40 feet away from the table to have a quiet group discussion. Upon returning, Somerville yelled out, "All right, let's play for it all!" with a laugh.
The remaining five players have stepped away on an unscheduled break.
From the small blind, Gus Hansen raised to 165,000 and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier called from the big blind. The flop came down 
and Hansen checked his hand.
"How many hearts?" asked Grospellier.
"Well... I have a lot of heart," said Hansen. "But that doesn't help my hand."
Hansen then checked and Grospellier checked behind. The turn was the 
and both players checked again. They also checked the 
on the river.
Hansen tabled the 
to beat Grospellier's and win the pot.
Rags-to-riches hopeful Steve Meling shoved for 315,000 from the cutoff and Gus Hansen called after a few moments from the big blind.
Hansen was behind with 
against Meling's 
, but scored the elimination when the board ran out 
with threes and deuces.
