Engel vs. Lewis: Only One Will Survive!
In the last hand before the break, the biggest pot of the tournament thus far went down.
It began when Ari Engel, who last night was the winner of a memorable straight-flush-over-straight-flush hand, raised to 50,000 from early position only to have Toby Lewis three-bet to 175,000 from late position.
Action folded back to Engel and he pushed back to the tune of 525,000. Lewis, who started the hand with around 2.3 million paused for a few beats before five-bet jamming and Engel considered is for about 30 seconds before tossing in a chip, signifying that he was calling off for approximately 1.75 million.

Engel exited in 41st place for $57,952.
