After the end of level seven, the field has reached 77 entries and 64 players remain as they are onto their second 10-minute break. At the same time, the Super High Roller has reached the money and a Single Day High Roller is underway with two tables running.
Bernard Gossard opened to 1,100 on the button and Wesley Blom called in the small blind. Rudalf Frick jammed the big blind for 10,100 and Gossard sighed "why always me" before he reluctantly called. Blom folded and Frick joked a "good call" as he exposed the Q?4?.
Gossard took a few seconds before he grinned and exposed the Q?Q?.
"That's not good for you ... I would have called if he didn't," Blom added.
There was no upset on the 6?4?3?10?5? runout and Frick was knocked out.
