The remaining 26 players are on a 20-minute break. Here's a look at some of the highlights over the last level.
When play resumes, the blinds will be at Level 24 - 15,000/30,000 with a 30,000 big blind ante. The average stack is almost 1,500,000 - around 50 big blinds.
Yisha Chen opened from the hijack to 55,000 and Bobby James three-bet the button to 135,000. Marta Miquel Munoz then four-bet out of the small blind to 325,000, which got a quick fold out of Chen, though James called quickly.
The dealer put out a flop of Q♥8♣5♣ where Munoz continued for 220,000, and again James called at lightning speed.
On the 3♥ turn, Munoz kept up the aggression with a bet of 375,000, and just as he did on previous streets, James wasted no time in making the call.
The Q♣ river paired the board and after thinking for a short time, Munoz checked. James quickly checked back and announced "Kings,". Munoz flipped A♥A♣ for a pair of aces, and James launched his cards into the muck without exposing them to the table.
"I knew it. When she raised preflop, I knew she had aces," remarked James as he stood up to look at the board.
With that pot, Munoz climbs to around 3,500,000, while James drops to just over a million.

Georgios Skarparis raised to 55,000 in early positon. Artsiom Lasouski then three-bet to 165,000 in the cutoff, which big blind Georgios Tsouloftas cold-called.
Skarparis quickly tossed in his stack of 645,000 for a four-bet jam. Lasouski used some time banks before he found a fold with 10♥10♦, after which Tsouloftas snap-called.
Georgios Skarparis: Q♠Q♦ 
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♦A♣
The 7♣6♦K♣2♣ turn left Skarparis with one out. It did not arrive on the K♠ river, resulting in the end of his Main Event run.

PokerStars listened to feedback from female poker players on how to draw women to the game, and now the poker site is responding.
The upcoming PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas festival will feature a $330 buy-in Women's Event on Nov. 5. Notably, the event has a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool attached.
Last year's NAPT Women's Event had a $360 price tag and drew 94 entrants for a prize pool of $28,200. That means PokerStars is expecting this year's event to be an even greater success.
The Women's Event will get underway at 12:30 p.m. local time on Nov. 5 and allows for unlimited reentry. The event will feature 30-minute levels and will see players starting with stacks of 30,000.

Quetelart had Kraous dominated, but the 8♦7♣6♠ flop gave Kraous outs to a straight. The K♦ turn was safe for Quetelart, while the 4♣ completed the board on the river and earned Quetelart a double up.
