The first break of the day has started. Back in 15 minutes.
Pratyush Buddiga opened for 3,500 under the gun, Rono Lo called from the button, Dov Malnik called from the small blind, and Thomas Muehloecker called from the big blind.
All four of them checked the flop and turn. The river came the and both blinds checked to Buddiga. He bet out 6,000 and Lo raised it up to 13,000. Malnik and Muehloecker folded, Buddiga three-bet to 31,000. Lo smiled, doubled checked the board one more time, and announced all in. Buddiga called and already knew what time it was.
Buddiga showed while Lo tabled . Both played the nuts and both got half the chips in the pot.
Lo must have been responsible for one of the bust outs today, as he's the owner of a stack already well over 500,000. Buddiga, despite gaining some chips in this pot, is one of the smaller stacks in the room.

Russian businessman Vasily Klyukin has been eliminated from the tournament. We unfortunately have no details on his bust out, but we're sure he's the first to go today. He has the option to reenter, as long as he decides to before 17:00 local time.
Klyukin is a Russian living in Monaco, planning to go to space with Leonardo Dicaprio, according to Forbes:
"How do you get to go into outerspace with an A-lister, in this case Leonardo DiCaprio? Well, first you have to be go to the Cannes Film Festival and bid on the same trip Leo is taking aboard Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic SpaceShipII. Then you fork over about $1.5 million to lock it down.
"That’s what 37-year-old Vasily Klyukin, a Russian businessman living in Monaco, did recently, according to Sky News."
David Dayan has also been eliminated from this tournament, so there currently are 43 players active in this tournament from 45 total entries.
