The tournament director has announced that play will stop for the night after Level 27.
The remaining players will return to play down to a champion at Noon local time on Saturday.
The tables have been playing short handed, as they're one away from combining down to two table. Thomas Taylor had already stolen the blinds twice in the last orbit when he raised the button to 120,000 and was called by Ronald Keijzer in the small blind, as well as Hyndi Khomutetsky in the big blind.
The board came down A♦K♥6♠ and after the blinds checked, Taylor put out a bet of 260,000 and both players folded.
The very next hand Taylor raised, was called in one spot, and took it down with a continuation bet on the flop.
Table dynamics are expected to change quite a bit once the players arrive to the final two tables.

Kevin Rand followed a bet from Gheorghe Butuc by raising to 465,000 from the small blind on the 9♥3♦A♥ flop.
Butuc called, while Rand continued for 675,000 on the 6♣ turn. Butuc called again and was facing an all-in from Rand on the 6♦ river.
Butuc called once more, but quickly tossed his hand into the muck when Rand tabled A♠A♣Q♦2♠ for a full house to earn the double-up.

Hyndi Khomutetsky was facing a late position raise from Ronald Keijzer, and decided to go all in for her remaining chips, which totaled approximately 500,000.
Keijzer didn't think too long before flicking in the call and during his hand on its back.
Hyndi Khomutetsky: A♦K♠8♦8♥
Ronald Keijzer: 4♠4♣5♣2♦
The table needled Keijzer by saying he caught himself in a classic cooler situation.
The board did come in Keijzer's favor as the dealer flopped 2♣2♥6♣. The turn was the Q♥, not helping Khomutetsky's odds and when the river peeled the 3♣, Keijzer upgraded his hand to a straight flush.
Khomutetsky navigated well through the massive field and had to settle for 17th this time.

Glib Karpov got his last few blinds in and was called in two spots by Paul Clotar and Dan Matsuzuki; any further bets would create a side pot.
Both players checked the 3♦9♣K♥, they also checked the 3♣ on the turn, and when the 2♥ fell on the river, they checked again.
Clotar declared ace high for his hand and Matsuzuki declared jack high, which prompted Karpov to turn up his K♦Q♥J♣6♦. Unfortunately, his dreams were dashed when Matsuzuki realized his final card was a three and he tabled his J♠8♠6♣3♥, sending Karpov to the pay outs.

Amir Mirrasouli raised from early position and Ryan Smith committed his shorter stack into the middle. The rest of the table folded, leaving Smith at risk.
Ryan Smith: K♦Q♣J♠8♦
Amir Mirrasouli: A♥8♠8♥2♠
Mirrasouli found the case eight on the 8♠4♥A♦ to make a set, while the 3♦ turn brought Smith a flush draw. The 5♠ river was a brick, ending Smith's run in 15th place.

Amir Mirrasouli was all in for his short stack, finding himself at risk against Gheorghe Butuc.
Amir Mirrasouli: 10♠8♣7♣5♣
Gheorghe Butuc: K♠K♥7♦6♦
Mirrasouli was trailing Butuc's kings before connecting with a pair on the 5♥2♠10♣ flop. The J♣ turn was no help, but the 7♠ river delivered Mirrasouli two pair to double his stack.
