As it turned out, the number of players hit 10 and the level ended at exactly the same time. We'll be moving to the main feature table after our players have spent an hour running around Vegas looking for shwarma and hummus by the sound of it.
Mark Eddleman raised to 80,000 under the gun, leaving himself 27,000 behind. Only Robert Mizrachi called. The flop came out 
, but Mizrachi didn't even look at it before he threw in the chips to put Eddleman all in. He called, and it was time for showdown.
Eddleman: 
Mizrachi: 
Eddleman didn't like the sight of Mizrachi's full wrap. The 
on the turn gave Eddleman a little help, but the 
on the river made Mizrachi a straight to eliminate Eddleman just in time for dinner.
We found Scott Mandel betting pot from the small blind position on the turn of an 
board. Ryan D'Angelo (cutoff) announced all in, Mandel called, and they were on their backs.
D'Angelo: 
for two pair, queens and eights
Mandel: 
for two pair, queens and jacks
River: 
The stacks were counted, and D'Angelo had change - 3,000. Not a typo. Just 3,000.
So he got it in from the hijack the next hand and Mandel raised, successfully isolating. Once again, the two of them were on their backs.
D'Angelo: 
Mandel: 
Board: 
ac]
"Good game guys," said D'Angelo, and we were down to 11.
In two hands, Robert Mizrachi has sent a cash infusion to Chance Kornuth, and he really doesn't look happy about it. Can't say we're surprised.
The first flop fell 
, and Mark Eddleman checked his big blind. Kornuth bet 130,000, and Mizrachi called. The turn brought the 
, and Kornuth moved all in for 316,000. Mizrachi agonized for a minute before finding a fold.
The very next hand, Kornuth raised and Mizrachi called. "Hold on, it may take me a minute," Kornuth said. I'm not sure how much I have yet."
The flop came 
, and Chance checked. Robert bet 110,000, and Kornuth quickly potted for 440,000. Mizrachi couldn't believe it was happening again. But it was, and he was forced to fold again. Mizrachi looked miserably at his stack, now down to 730,000. Chance was quite pleased to rearrange his chips in a formation more suitable for 880,000.
Ryan D'Angelo got his whole stack in on the turn of a 
board and Kevin Boudreau called.
Boudreau: 
for a straight
D'Angelo: 
for the same straight, freerolling for a full house
River:
The board did not pair, and they chopped it up. "Unlucky," said Boudreau, which struck us as most gentlemanly.
Eric Liu raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Chance Kornuth reraised pot from the button. It folded back around to Liu who announced all in, Kornuth announced call, and they were on their backs.
Liu: 
Kornuth: 
Board: 
Kornuth high-fived someone at the rail as he doubled to 475,000. Liu dropped back to 800,000 or so.
There was supposed to be a 60-minute dinner break after this level, but they have decided to play down to ten players and then take dinner. If they reach ten earlier, they'll stop then. If not, they'll push dinner back. At ten, they'll redraw to the unofficial final table, move their chips to the ESPN featured stage, and then recess for an hour.

All players are back at the table, presumably feeling relieved and ready for another hour of poker before their dinner break.
