Dinner Break

[user38449]

After eight levels of play, we've lost 161 of the original 189 runners, leaving us with just 28 players. Alex Keating is currently at the top of our leaderboard with 72,000 in chips, followed closely behind by Richard Holmes who comes in with 67,000.

Notably, Australian pro Mel Judah was eliminated by Sam Youssef just before the dinner break when his aces got cracked by Youssef's pocket eights in a three-way all in confrontation. Youssef spiked a third eight on the river to send Judah to the rail.

The players have been released for dinner until approximately 8:30 p.m. local time. Stay with us - we'll be in the money shortly after the break!
