Players are now on their first 20-minute break of the day.
We caught a big hand between Jason Mercier and Ryan Dellazizzo that saw Mercier add to his wall of chips. Mercier, Dellazizzo and Shaun Deeb took a flop of 
. Dellazizzo was first to act, and put out a bet of 8,500. Deeb quickly folded, and they took the 
on the turn. Dellazizzo announced "pot", which totally to 29,300 exactly. Mercier thought for about a minute before cutting the chips out and tossing them in for the call, ballooning the pot to 90,000. The river brought the 
, completing a straight and a flush. Dellazizzo checked, and Mercier took advantage of the check, and fired out 41,000. Dellazizzo tanked for about four minutes into the break, and finally folded his hand. Mercier took the pot, and when Deeb asked him to show two cards, he oblidged and showed the

Table 366 is like a case study in poker across boarders. First up is Jesper Hougaard, the young Danish phenomenon who in 2008 became the first person to win a bracelet at both the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and the World Series of Poker Europe in London. He doesn't seem to be having any trouble chatting it up with the all-American Ken doll on his left, Erick Lindgren. Then there's the UK's living Austin Powers, David "Devilfish" Ulliott.
Swiss pro Anton Allemann adds another language to the table, as does Frenchman Julien "Garrincho54" Claudepierre, who is here as part of an Everest Poker contest. Claudepierre won a spot on Everest's Live the Dream Team and a year-long $100,000 sponsorship deal.

The action folded around to the player in the small blind who limped before Joe Hachem raised pot from the big blind. The small blind called, then checked the flop of 
. Hachem led out for 4,500, but flung his hand into the muck angrily after the small blind bet the pot.
"Show me something!" Hachem said to the player. The player flashed 
. Hachem then addressed the table with a smile: "You reckon you guys could put out of my misery before the break?"
No dice. Three other players did take a flop with Hachem, but he folded after another player led out. Guess we'll be seeing back after this break!

Tom "durrrr" Dwan checked the river on a board reading 
, inspiring Greg Brooks to bet 17,200. Dwan snap-called and flipped over 
for a straight. Brooks didn't say a word as he slid his cards in the muck.

The action folded to Markus Ristola who raised to 3,600 from the button before the flop; he found one caller in the form of Jason Senti who called from the big blind to make it heads-up to the flop of 
.
Both players checked, then Ristola checked again on the turn of the 
before Senti opened for 4,000. However, Ristola check-raised him, making it 12,600 to go and Senti called before both players checked the river of the 
.
"You got me," Senti sighed before Ristola opened up 
for two pair to take the pot down. Ristola's looking comfortable with 82,000 in chips, but we hope he can hold his own out there, as not only is he sharing space with Senti, Vanessa Selbst and Layne Flack, but now Josh Arieh has joined their table!

It seems like every time we pass Tom Dwan's table he is either up 100,000 or down 100,000, so maybe we should just dedicate one person to stand over his shoulder and see how it all goes down.
Anyway, we came into a hand where he and Kevin Boudreau were heads up on the turn and the board read 
Dwan checked from middle position and Boudreau put out a bet of 3,500. Dwan elected to just call (a rarity for him).
The river came 
and again Dwan checked over to Boudreau who bet 4,500. Dwan looked like he was about to count out a pot raise, but he eventually just splashed in the call. Boudreau showed 
for top two pair and it was good.
Dwan then said something along the lines of, "Man, I was definitely going to raise you, but then you just put 4,500 out there... if you had put like 11,000 out there I was absolutely going to raise you."
Dwan lost the hand but is still up to 220,000 at this point in the tournament and Boudreau is right around 85,000.

Matt Affleck, Vanessa Selbts, Shawn Buchanan, and Layne Flack all took a flop of 
. Affleck checked, and Selbts bet out 4,100. After about 30 seconds of thinking, Buchanan called, and Flack immediately announced "Pot." Affleck and Selbts quickly folded, and it was back around to Buchanan. He thought for about 90 seconds before putting his stack in the middle. Flack called, and saw he had a ton of outs to dodge.

Buchanan was looking for a queen, eight, three, or club, but none of those came, as the turn and river came and 
. Flack scooped the pot, boosting his stack to 100,000, while Buchanan was eliminated.

With the field now reduced to 82 players, we haven't been able to pick up on that many full boards, but we did pick up on two hands that went 80% of the way.
Earlier on table 368, our reporter picked up the action between Praz Bansi and Steven Burkholder on a flop of 
, Bansi led out for 5,000 and Burkholder called, then Bansi checked his option on the turn of the 
, only to fold after Burkholder opened for 8,000.
Then on table 370, we saw Michael McDonald and Benjamin Pollak go heads-up to a flop that read 
. Pollak bet 13,400 and McDonald called from the button, but he then folded after Pollak potted all-in on the turn of the .
Interesting sidenote: the lights of The Mothership (AKA the WSOP Main Stage in the Amazon Room) are not on at the moment. We're hoping that when they do turn them on, there's a massive sound-and-light show to it. And it has to be this track - one which you might recognize from a certain Stanley Kubrick sci-fi flick:
