Players have been sent on their final 20-minute break of the day as tournament officials are racing off the yellow 1,000-value chips.
Action folded to a player in early position who went all in off a short stack. There was then another all in for about the same amount in late position and action folded to Alex Myers in the Big Blind who had both players covered. He didn't think for too long before pushing his chips into the middle.
The cards are tabled.
Early Position: A♥3♥
Late Position: K♠K♥
Alex Myers: Q♦Q♥
The 6♠Q♠9♦ flop caused some commotion at the table as Myers came from behind and hit top set. The 9♠ turn gave Myers a full house and the late position player with kings was down to just two outs. Unfortunately for the player in late position, Myers made quads on the Q♣ river and sent both players to the rail while giving himself new life in the tournament.

Mike Allis, who won his first bracelet last year, had all of his money in the middle against another player with the board already reading J♠9♦10♠
Mike Allis: 8♦8♠
Opponent: K♣Q♠
Allis would need running cards to win the hand. The J♥ turn helped, and the table erupted when the 8♣ hit the river to give Allis eights full to double up.
