The players are taking their second break of the day. This is the last opportunity for players to join the event, as late registration closes upon the completion of the break.
The action is set to resume in 20 minutes.
Nikola Radevic raised to 8,000 from the hijack, which the player on the button called before Danielle Noja three-bet to 26,000 from the small blind. Radevic called, but the button player folded.
Noja continued for 30,000 on a 10♥7♠2♥ flop, and once again Radevic called.
The 6♥ turn saw Noja slow down, checking over to Radevic. Radevic responded by moving all in for 51,500. Noja went into the tank, but ultimately chose to let go of his cards.
Tommy G opened to 7,000 in early position, and Hassan Nashar called in the cutoff. Alexander Lakhov then three-bet to 53,500 from the big blind. Tommy G quickly folded, but Nashar gave it a bit more consideration.
After enquiring about Lakhov's remaining stack, which was 44,000, Nashar elected to fold, and Lakhov took the pot uncontested.
Arsenii Karmatckii raised to 7,000 in early position, and only Natalia Nikitina called in the small blind.
After Nikitina checked, Karmatckii bet 5,000 on a K♥4♥K♦ flop, and Nikitina called.
The turn brought the J♣, and this time, when Karmatckii double-barreled for 30,000, Nikitina check-folded.

Patrick Brooks opened to 6,000 in the cutoff, and promptly faced a three-bet to 18,000 from Rayan Aljawhari on the button. The action folded back to Brooks, who called.
On a 2♠3♣A♦ flop, Brooks check-called a bet of 12,000 before the 5♠ turn checked through.
The Q♠ completed the board, and, after taking stock of his opponent's stack, which was 95,500, Brooks moved all in. Aljawhari called, putting himself at risk, and quickly received bad news. Brooks tabled A♠8♠ for the rivered nut flush, and Aljawhari flipped over his Q♣4♠, showing he had turned the wheel straight.
Viktor Kobzev opened to 6,000 in the hijack, which only Patrick Brooks called in the big blind.
Brooks checked over to Kobzev on a 5♣J♣Q♦ flop, who continued for 5,500. Brooks responded with a check-raise to 22,000, which was enough to earn the pot, as Kobzev released his cards to the dealer.
