Speaking of the table with Amit Makhija and Tom Dwan, that table has quickly become a table loaded with poker talent. Just taking his seat at the table is bracelet winner and godfather of online poker Cliff Josephy, and taking seat 5 is WPT winner Tommy Vedes. Should provide for plenty of action and fireworks.
Chris Peterson has begun to expand on his one-man highlight reel reputation after tripling up on Table 36.
Peterson bounded over to the PokerNews Live Reporting Team desk to tell us his latest story: having nursed his short stack through to the dinner break, he got it in early after play resumed with

However, Peterson binked his two-outer on the river for a set of fives and scooped the pot!
Ali Eslami was on the button and got all in with the big blind. Eslami held the

and Eslami dropped to 6,700 in chips. The big blind was all in for 7,875.
Amit "amak316" Makhija has just scored a big double up against Tom "Durrrr" Dwan. The two players got a ton of chips in preflop, with Makhija all in for a little over 21,000.

This classic coin flip turned into domination for Makhija when the flop came

Todd Terry just doubled up blind versus blind with

The players are now on their 90-minute dinner break. Play will resume at approximately 8.20pm PST (GMT -7). In the meantime, why not read up on the latest poker headlines with The Nightly Turbo? It's good for you and part of a nutritious breakfast.
As we wandered over to Tom Dwan's table, Fabio Coppola fished out his Total Rewards Card and kindly asked us if he could please go into the chip counts. With his impeccable manners, it would have been rude of us to have refused his offer - and for those looking out for him, you'll be pleased to know that Coppola is currently on 39,000.
We then witnessed a hand heads-up between Tom Dwan and Amit Makjiha on a 
flop. Makhija opened for 825, and Dwan called, before both players checked down the turn of the 
and the river 
. Dwan tabled 
, and Makhija showed down - that'd be a split pot, for those of you keeping score at home.
Dwan is now on 24,700.
