No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Jake Schwartz was the one to ask for a break at the end of the previous level and that's what they had agreed upon. However, he was involved in the last hand as Joao Vieira raised to 17,000 on the button and Adam Friedman called in the small blind. Schwartz raised to 86,000 in the big blind and Vieira reluctantly called, Friedman folded.
Both patted and Schwartz then bet 123,000, sending Vieira into the tank. Five minutes into the break, Schwartz asked "do you mind if I call the clock? I need to run to the bathroom, otherwise I would never call the clock," he apologized.
Vieira was given 30 seconds to act and folded with one second remaining as Schwartz vaulted out of his seat and towards the bathroom.

On the first draw, Jake Schwartz took two while Carol Fuchs took one card. Fuchs bet and Schwartz called. Fuchs then patted the final two draws while Schwartz took one each. Both times, Fuchs bet and Schwartz called.
"That's a scooper," Mike Gorodinsky said as Fuchs tabled the 
/ 
for a Seven-Dugi and an eight-seven-six low. Schwartz chopped, however, as his 
/ 
for a three card seven made an eight-seven-five low.
Throughout the hand, the table chat suggested that Fuchs would earn a pot courtesy of Schwartz right after arriving on the new seat but it all ended in a split pot.

No-Limit Hold'em
Adam Friedman bet the 
turn for 32,000 from under the gun and Mike Gorodinsky called on the button. The river was checked by Friedman and Gorodinsky bet 66,000. After spending some time in the tank, Friedman folded with the words "okay Mister PIO" before adding "no smile please".
Badacey
The game type changed and Ray Henson was at risk for 22,000, which Friedman and Jake Schwartz in the blinds called. Schwartz took three while Friedman and Henson took two. The active players checked and they all took two each, then checked again. Henson then patted and his opponents took one each.
An eight was announced but Henson just shrugged at them and tabled his 
/ 
for a Five-Dugi and a number two to triple up.
