Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
With three levels under their belts, the 16 remaining players have been sent off for their first ten-minute break of the day. We'll be right back with updated chip counts for these gentlemen.
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Under the gun plus one, Thomas Aprea opened to 75,000, and Mike Minetti called in position. From the big blind, Jon Brody was feeling squeezy himself, and he moved all in for 139,000 total. Aprea called the shove, but he was forced to fold when Minetti re-shoved all in behind him. That got Brody heads up for his tournament life, and he was in the lead as the cards were shown down:
Minetti: 
Brody: 
Neither player paired up as the board ran out 
, and Brody's ace kicker gives him the triple up. He's back to 461,000 just like that, while Minetti slips back to about 1.28 million.
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Jesse Okonczak raised to 55,000 under the gun, and Ryan Lenaghan called in middle position. Around in the cutoff seat, Mike Morton squeezed in a reraise to ~230,000, and that folded Okonczak out of the way. Lenaghan had 
, however, and he reraised all in with his big stack. Morton called for his tournament life, turning over 
as he did so. Dang.
The board was un-flushy as it rolled out 
to give both players their money back (plus a bit extra from Okonczak).
Morton - 630,000
Lenaghan - 1.6 million
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
In middle position, Mike Morton opened the pot to 60,000, and Jerry Zehr found a hand to go to war with. He reraised all in for 254,000, and Morton made the call with a chance at the knockout. Zehr was in fine shape to double:
Morton: 
Zehr:
There was no funny stuff on the 
board, and Zehr has found the double he needed. Mark him down for 576,000 now, while Morton slips back to 620,000.
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Just a moment after Frank Hernandez double through John Riordan, the two men mixed it up in another big pot.
We picked up the action on the turn as the board read 
. Riordan was leading the betting, and he put out 220,000 chips, a bet of about 3/4ths the size of the pot. Hernandez called, and he called another 350,000 following the 
river. He turned up 
, only to see that Riordan's 
had caught up on the turn.
Trip sevens allow Riordan to recoup his losses and then some, and that pot moves him back up into second place overall with 1.81 million chips.
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
In early position, John Riordan raised to 55,000 to open the pot before Frank Hernandez three-bet to 145,000. When it came back to Riordan, he shoved over the top with his covering stack, and Hernandez called all in for his last 520,000 total.
Showdown
Riordan: 
Hernandez: 
The 
flop was just fine with Hernandez, and the turn was very much fine as well. It gave him the unbeatable full house to secure his double up, and Riordan was already paying off his debt as the filled out the board on the river. Nice catch for "gator93".
Hernandez is up to 1.1 million now, just eking past Riordan who has slipped back to 1.03 million.

Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Thomas Aprea opened to 75,000 from middle position, and big blind Jacob Naquin called all in for just less than the raise amount.
Showdown
Aprea:
Naquin: 
Naquin had two live cards, but that would change in a hurry. The 
flop was not the way in which he wanted to pair up as Aprea's flush had him drawing dead to a running full house. The turn ended any drama, and the 
river ushered Naquin out the door in 17th place. He'll take home more than $10,000 for his work over the past three days -- not too shabby.
