We hit a break as the money is within sight. Song continues strong with 205, but Stephen Gerber also on table 2 has a slim lead with 235,000. No stack has pulled away.
On 1, an interesting hand developed between Maurice Hawkins and Eric Christensen, who had opened from the button. Hawkins 3bet from the bb, and they went postflop.
A strange 
fell, which Hawkins led 12,500, then 12,000 on the turn 
, smaller and smaller. Christensen took some time then jammed his remaining 40,000 or so.
Hawkins released, and Eric couldn’t resist showing 
for a bluff that worked. Hawkins shook his head and had some choice words regarding this play.
Meanwhile, seat 2, preferring to leave no name and enjoying solitaire on his phone, was apparently picking up some good hands that required little interaction. He showed three kings against Hawkins, who is bleeding a bit, while Ying commented on his string of monsters. Then, as if to prove the point, he then raised Ying with a strong combo draw.
Seat 2 on 1 has 230,000. Here he flashes Ying another big hand.
Then, two quicks busts, including Brian Sherrier, and we redraw for 18.
Settling in to their new seats.
Hawkins, foreground, moves just a few seats over, but on two, McKeehen has been moves to Song’s left. Former chip leader Wenhao Ying has moved to Song’s right. Harder is opposite Song – should be a fun table.
Justin Liberto is the first out after the redraw – one big danger down for the field.
Break now.

Doug Atkins pitches it from the big facing the open shove on 5.
Sherrier gets a three bet through Christian Harder, Joe McKeehen looking on. Christian had 105,000 and this point and Sherrier 70,000.
Song, here still on his way up, three bets Liberto, and gets shoved on for 30,000 by Schiavo.
Arthur has 
and flops a set, but holding the 
in his hand, Song makes a one card flush and sends Schiavo to the rail.
Back on 4, Sherrier appears to have wounded McKeehen as they discuss a hand, with Joe down to 50,000 and Sherrier now past 100,000 again. McKeehen then opens from UTG, but it is too light to go with as Harder then jams on him. McKeehen flips the cards into the air as rapidly as possible.
Back on two, Song is now chip leader. He has been running it up ever since he arrived on this table and now has over 260,000.
On one, Ying has slipped a little to 150,000, while Hawkins remains consistent at the 110,000 he reached levels ago. Now, however, it’s the average stack.

We head to a short pause in the action.
Wenhao Ying, now over 160,000 on table 1.
Meanwhile, Hawkins on Ying’s table has regained his 100,000, but Sherrier, who had pushed past 100,000 at one point, has slipped further to 40,000. Frank Bonacci, two seats down from him, is now in the 100,000 area.
Ron Sims, previously around 100,000 himself, dipped substantially but just completed an unlikely double knockout, taking out two other shortstacks, holding 
and hitting running aces to knock out Joe Liberta with and another player with 
.
We return in 15.

As we move to a big ante here in 11, the former order of leaders has been dispersed.
Table 8, which featured Hundt, Somers and many interesting spots, has broken, as has Somers’ grip on the leaderboard. He’s now at 4 with 65,000 – just an average stack.
Sherrier and McKeehen have also each taken hits and are holding around 60,000. Even Hawkins has slid below 80,000.
Wenhao Ying gathers in the pot, and the chip lead with 140,000, as the others falter in momentum.
McKeehen drops in a double barrel on the turned K and gets it through McKinight on 7.
Frank Bonacci gets a needed double through Harrison Dobin on 6 with fours full.

With rising stacks on each table and a bluff line failing for Somers, we are bunched at the top.
Somers still has 130,000, but Sherrier on 6 has risen to 110,000. Meanwhile, Stephen Song has cracked on the way to 95,000.
Hawkins remains near 100,000 despite taking a small hit, doubling a short stack, 
behind from start to finish against .
Somers took the hit taking a bet/check/shove line BB vs CO on a low board, but even the turn queen would not dissuade from a necessary call.
On 5, Rossitto has managed to climb to 75,000 in increments, here getting a river shove through.

Somers continues to be chip leader of the Six Max, near 180,000.
David Somers snaps off a mid stack’s AQ with AA.
“I’ve never run purer in my life,” David mentioned.
In the next hand, again vs the other table stack James Hundt, David raised a cbet on 
and then got the fold on the 
turn.
The pot pushed him past 180,000. Hundt is still strong with 75,000
Ron Sims has risen past 110,000 on 4, and Sherrier on 6 has been busy as well, a little shy of 80,000 after losing a pot just before break.
McKeehen has been steady all level and last, now around 80,000.
However, the biggest development was on table 1, with Maurice Hawkins three betting Jeremy Perez. Perez went for it and jammed with what looked like a starting stack, only to get snapped off by .
“I was just trying to get out to break,” now at 100,000.
The dinner break will last one hour.

Joe McKeehen has risen very steadily, now just behind Hundt, with about 70,000.
Outer table 10. Ryan McKnight versus Natale Kuey, three way.

George Bakitzis on 5 just took out Stephen Song.
Rossitto bets river from the BB.
Ron Sims gets change after a carefully onsidered flat call pre.
