The remaining 76 players are on a 60-minute dinner break. They will return at approximately 6:30 p.m. local time at Level 27 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 and an 80,000 ante.

Dao Makes Wrong Move At Wrong Time

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of 887, and Keith Romer put out a bet of 100,000 from the big blind, and Bao Dao moved all in for 920,000 from early position. Romer called immediately.

Dao stated, "I made a move at the wrong time." Romer hit a full house on the flop.

Bao Dao: AK All in
Keith Romer: A8

The turn 2 and the river J did not change the result; Dao was eliminated, and Romer became the new chip leader.

Hurry Up and Win, Cooper!

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

It was the battle of the blinds with Ronald Moore raising to 130,000 from the small blind and Daniel Cooper in the big blind called.

The flop came 5A3. Moore continued with 100,000 and once again Cooper called.

Relentless, Moore fired another 200,000 on the J turn which Cooper called again.

Finally, on the river 9, Moore put in 400,000 that covered what Cooper had left behind. Cooper went into the tank, considering his options. He apologized for taking so much time. The floor arrived after clock was called on him.

On the final 5 seconds, Cooper made the call. Moore tabled J8 prompting Cooper to let out a sigh of relief as he turned over A7 fr top pair.

He apologized to the other players as he scooped the pot. James Traber, who was also at the table and was showing the most impatience, said, "We knew you were going to win. That's why we wanted you to hurry up."

Want the Last of My Chips? Sike

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Carlos Girard shoved all in with his last 145,000 chips in middle position. The only caller was Kenneth Sikes from the small blind.

Carlos Girard: 22All in
Kenneth Sikes: AA

Deuces versus aces is not a fair fight. In this case, however, the runout 35A104 gave Girard a fighting chance on the flop and delivered the winning blow to the gut on the river.

Gerard's wheel cracked Sikes aces and he stayed alive a little bit longer.

Moscoe Hanging In

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sridhar Sangannagari raised to 130,000 from under the gun. Raymond Moscoe, sitting in the cutoff, moved all in to call with exactly 130,000.

William Ackerman, the big blind, raised all in with a larger stack. Sangannagari folded.

Raymond Moscoe: AQAll in
William Ackerman: AK

With a dominated hand, Moscoe faced probably elimination. Probable until the flop, that is. Moscoe hit a pair of queens early and they stood through the full board of Q52104 to give him a triple-up.

Scott Ruegsegger
Scott Ruegsegger

Michel Akrich raised from under the gun to 175,000, Scott Ruegsegger, who began the day fourth in chips, called from the hijack, and Michel Abecassis three-bet squeezed all in for 960,000. Akrich folded, and Ruegsegger called.

Michel Abecassis: 88 All in
Scott Ruegsegger: 1010

The board fell with 64J2K, and Ruegsegger held the best hand with a pair of tens.

Time Runs Out for Olson

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With 1,000,000 in the pot and a board of 4727A, Steven Olson bet 500,000 from late position and Larry Quang raised to 1,500,000, sending Olson to the tank.

Olson looked like he was calculating and reviewing the action as the rest of the table waited. After much time, Ricardo Padilla, who was also at the table, called clock.

Annoyed, Olson asked him, "Are you in the hand?" Padilla just shrugged as Olson explained to him how big the pot was and how difficult the decision he had to make.

The floor started the countdown and his hand was mucked after he ran out of time.

Vogt Drags The Blinds Along

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Stefan Vogt raised from the cutoff to 125,000, James Traber called from the small blind, and Ronald Moore called from the big blind. The flop came out with 25K, and both of the blinds checked to the preflop raiser. Vogt bet 100,000, and both players came along for the turn.

Everyone checked the turn Q.

On the river 9, both blinds checked again, and Vogt bet 200,000. Traber called quickly, and Moore folded quickly. Traber showed K10 for a pair of kings, and Vogt showed AK for a pair of kings with an ace kicker and the scoop.

Agaev Takes Huge Pot

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Adam Agaev raised to 120,000 from middle position. Christopher Podlewski three-bet to 300,000 in the cutoff.

When the action folded back to Agaev, he casually smooth-called.

The flop hit KQ7. Agaev lead with a bet and Podlewski moved all in. Agaev quickly called with less, a whopping 1,970,000 chips.

Adam Agaev: KKAll in
Christopher Podlewski: 86

Podlewski had flopped a flush. Agaev had hit a set of kings.

The would prove to be disastrous for Podlewski, as the Q came off the deck, pairing the board and giving Agaev a fullhouse. The hand was over before the 2 landed on the river.

"Whew!" Agaev shouted when the queen turned. "I was cursing myself for not (re-)raising preflop."
