Players Going on Break; Mickey Craft and Eugene Kotlyarevskiy Over Two Million
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
The players are going on a 20-minute break, their first of the day. Mickey Craft is the runaway chipleader at this point, but the TV cameras have been swarming around Eugene Kotlyarevskiy's table as his chipstack continues to grow. Kotlyarevskiy rivered quads to eliminate a player early on, and his chip stack is now soaring over the others at his table.
Action will resume will return at around 13.45 local time, with players finishing the last hour of Level 17 before moving onto Level 18.
