While it took us quite a long time to get from 19 handed to 18 handed, it took less than five minutes for us to lose our next two players. First we lost Daniel Anderson when he rivered trip kings holding Ace-King, only to see that Omar Bravo had turned a flush with [10h][9h].
Then on the other table, Mavrick Yoo raised to 700,000, and Matthew Perez called on the button. From the big blind, Tianyu Ma moved all in for just under four million. Yoo folded, but Perez called for half his stack with [9c][9s]. Ma showed [As][10c]. The board ran down [Jh][5d][3h][4h][6s], and the nines held to boost Perez’s stack.
Once players return from their break, they will play one more hour long level before bagging up for the night.
