Players are on an unscheduled pause as tournament officials paused play to manage the payouts.
Josh Arieh had checked on a flop reading Q?3?7? and Tzvi Heber placed a bet of 10,000. Arieh responded with a raise to 24,000.
There was a bit of confusion when Heber put in 34,000 in response. It soon became apparent he was attempting to raise, because he had put in more than half for what a raise was needed, he was obligated to made it 38,000.
Arieh waved off the confusion and said, "That's fine." and pushed his hand into the muck.

With the players now officially in the money, a player under the gun raised all in for 25,000. Fredrick Brink followed up in early position three-betting all in for 54,000. It folded around to the button where a player who had both all in stacks covered, decided to make the call.
Under the gun: A?J?
Fredrick Brink: K?Q?
Button: K?10?
The under the gun player was ahead, but the K?3?7? flop now put Brink on top. The 9? on the turn made things interesting as the player on the button could now hit a 10 or a club for the double elimination. However, the river 4? bricked out, and Brink was able to scoop the pot worth 149,000.

Action folded around to the player in the small blind who limped, and Dan Shak checked in the big blind.
The two went to a flop of K?K?3?, where the small blind bet 6,000 and Shak called.
On the 7? turn, the small blind led out for 20,000 and Shak called again.
The river peeled the 9?, bringing in the backdoor flush draw. The small blind checked and Shak moved all in for almost 100,000, putting his opponent to a tough decision.
The small blind eventually folded and Shak chipped up.
