Allan Sannier in early position opened to 160,000. Chi Chen, to his left, three-bet to 900,000 with only 50,000 behind. Sannier four-bet all in, and Chen called.
Chi Chen: A♣Q♦ 
Allan Sannier: 10♠10♥
Chen flopped top pair on A♠J♥8♣4♠9♠ to secure a double-up.
Shaun Deeb raised to 160,000 with A♠A♣ from middle position, and Maxime Chilaud defended with K♠9♣ from the big blind.
Chilaud led out for 150,000 on the 5♦8♣6♣ flop. Deeb called to find the Q♥ turn, which was checked by Chilaud.
Deeb bet 450,000 and Chilaud folded.
Heads-up on a flop of 5♥8♦J♣, Mario Boos with 9♦9♣ in the cutoff bet 220,000, and Gregory Brown in the big blind check-called with 8♠5♠ for two pair.
Boos fired a second barrel to 725,000 on the A♥ turn. Brown and his flopped two pair check-called again and checked the J♠ river.
Boos checked back and had the good surprise to see that the river counterfeited Brown’s two pair. Boos took the pot with jacks and nines.
At the main feature table, Daniel Iachan in early position opened to 160,000. Naixuan Shi on the button three-bet all in for 1,435,000, and Iachan went into the tank before calling.
Naixuan Shi: J♠J♣
Daniel Iachan: A♠Q♥
Shi's jacks held on 7♥2♥6♣10♥9♠ and he doubled up.
The remaining 113 players are going on a 70-minute extended break. Live action should resume around 4:40 p.m. local time, while updates from the live stream will continue during the break.
Level 26 Highlights
Congya Zhang in middle position raised to 160,000. Han Feng in the hijack called before Tanner Pray in the cutoff moved all in for 435,000. Both Zhang and Feng called.
Zhang and Feng checked all the way through a board of 4♥A♥8♣9♣A♠, so all three players' cards went on their backs.
Tanner Pray: K♣10♣
Han Feng: 6♥6♣
Congya Zhang: 7♥7♦
Pray had a flush draw on the turn, but the river didn't complete it, and he was eliminated.
Christopher Chaudey kicked off the action with a raise to 160,000 in early position. Behnam Patros called in the hijack, and so did Will Givens on the button. Ricardo Cermeno defended his big blind, and the quartet saw a flop of A♠3♦J♣.
After Cermeno had checked, Chaudey continued for 150,000. Behnam Patros then raised to 450,000, and Givens three-bet to 1,450,000. Cermeno and Chaudey quickly got out of the way, but Patros called.
Givens sized down significantly on the Q♥ turn, sliding 860,000 forward after Patros had checked. Patros then called, and the 8♠ river appeared.
Patros checked again, prompting Givens to announce a bet of 2,600,000, nearly covering his opponent's remaining stack. Patros spent about five minutes in the tank before Givens called the clock.
Patros' countdown had nearly reached zero when he abruptly threw in a calling chip. Givens jumped up as he tabled K♠10♣ for the nut straight, celebrating with his rail as he took down the enormous pot.
Patros, meanwhile, was left with less than a big blind to try and spin up after the extended break.
Shaun Deeb raised to 160,000 from under the gun with 7♦6♦. Gregory Brown in the cutoff called with A♥J♥, and Michael Nugent defended from the big blind with J♦10♠.
All three players checked a flop of 2♠2♦J♠, but after Nugent and Deeb checked the 4♠ turn, Brown bet 300,000 with two pair. Nugent called while Deeb folded.
The J♣ river completed a full house for both Nugent and Brown. Nugent checked, Brown bet 1,000,000, Nugent moved all in for 3,880,000, and Brown called to split the pot.
Ralph Perry raised to 160,000 in early position and Cade Lautenbacher called in the big blind.
The flop came J♦8♣7♥ and Perry continued for 110,000. Lautenbacher called, and the turn was the 8♠.
Lautenbacher then led out for 225,000, and Perry raised to 600,000. Lautenbacher reraised to 1,500,000, and Perry called.
The river was the 7♣ and Lautenbacher bet 1,250,000. Perry then moved all in for 3,400,000. Lautenbacher tanked for several minutes into the break as the rest of the table stayed behind to watch. Farid Jattin eventually called the clock, and Lautenbacher folded.
"Yeah!" Perry said, slamming the table in celebration. He then slid his cards back to the dealer and mixed them up with the rest of the muck as he continued to celebrate for the cameras.
