The final 132 players have been sent on a 15-minute break.
The Day-2 bubble will burst and play will suspend for the evening once the field is down to 130 players.

Ivan Kuziv opened 10,000 under the gun before Fernando Canaparo three-bet 35,000 in the hijack. Robert Bull put in a four-bet to 85,000 from the big blind, forcing Kuziv to muck while Canaparo made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of 10♦7♦6♠, and after thinking for about 45 seconds, Bull dropped 45,000 across the line. Canaparo tank-called.
When the K♠ hit the turn, Bull took about a minute and announced a bet of 70,000. Canaparo stuck around once again with a call.
The 4♠ competed the board on the river, and Bull announced all-in.
Canaparo went deep into the tank, asking for a count. The dealer let him know it was 148,000, covering his 128,000. After a full ten minutes, well into the break, he smashed a chip across the line to make the call.
Bull rolled A♣A♦, and Canaparo sighed as he stood up from the table as his Q♣Q♦ was turned face-up.

Ahmed Mouwafi limped first-to-act and action folded to Juarez Bertoli in the small blind, who called. Julien Mariani checked his option from the big blind.
Action checked to Mouwafi on the 5♠4♥2♥ flop and he bet 15,000. Only Bertoli called.
The 8♣ fell on the turn and Bertoli checked again. Mouwafi bet enough to put Bertoli all in for his last 21,000 and Bertoli immediately called.
Juarez Bertoli: 4♦4♣
Ahmed Mouwafi: Q♥8♥
Bertoli had flopped a set, but would need to fade Mouwafi's flush draw to score the double.
The 10♦ bricked out for Mouwafi and Bertoli doubled up.

Simone Demasi opened 10,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Michael Bogers in the big blind as he pushed his stack of about 100,000 across the line. Demasi snap-called, and both hands were tabled.
Michael Bogers: A♣K♥
Simone Demasi: A♥A♦
Bogers ran into the preflop nuts, and the J♦9♦7♠4♣5♠ runout was no help as he stood up from the table.

Matthias Bertholon opened to 10,000 from middle position and Kevin Muders shoved for his last 35,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Bertholon, who shrugged and announced, "I call," to put Muders at risk.
Kevin Muders: J♠J♦
Matthias Bertholon: A♥10♥
Muders was a favorite to double and remained that way on the 9♦6♥5♦ flop and 7♣ turn.
However, the A♠ landed on the river — pairing Bertholon's ace and leaving Muders' jacks second-best to be eliminated.

Gabriel Podovei opened 11,000 under the gun and Davide Marchi three-bet all-in for 126,500 from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded, and Podevei called off his stack of about 105,000.
Gabriel Podovei: A♠Q♠
Davide Marchi: A♥K♦
The A♦7♥3♥ flop paired both players with an ace, but Podevei was still behind to the king-kicker. The 4♦ fell on the turn, and the A♣ river improved them both to trip aces, sending Podovei to the rail.

Mikhail Zhukov opened 8,000 in early position and the action folded around to Kenny Hallaert in the big blind who had just lost a pot worth more than 400,000 to Alexandre Reard. Hallaert only had 8,000 remaining, and made the call.
Kenny Hallaert: K♠9♣
Mikhail Zhukov: A♦10♥
The J♠2♥2♦6♠4♣ runout was no help for Hallaert as he headed to the exit.

Heads-up on a board of J♣6♣J♥5♦ with several thousand already in the middle, Aram Sargsyan checked from the big blind and Marle Spragg fired 22,000 into the middle from middle position. Sargsyan called.
The dealer brought the 2♣ on the river and Sarsgyan checked once more. Spragg announced she was all in for 80,000 total, which sent Sargsyan deep into the tank.
Sargsyan eventually slid his hand into the muck and Spragg collected the sizable pot without showing.

After a series of preflop raises, Alexandre Reard and Kenny Hallaert got all of their chips in the middle and Reard was at risk for a little over 200,000.
Alexandre Reard: AxAx
Kenny Hallaert: QxQx
The 6♠2♥2♣A♦3♥ runout gave Reard aces-full, sending him near the top of the chips counts, while Hallaert was left on fumes.
