Play has resumed after the first break and there are now 116 total entries in the Main Event, with 110 of them still in action spread over 12 tables.

Some of the new arrivals post-break are the USA's Preston Lee and Thailand's most successful tournament player Phanlert Sukonthachartnant, both of whom failed to get anything going in the High Roller so have decided to try their luck in the main.

Another player who is trying his luck is Chilean Francesco Morales, whom we caught in action in the following hand. It was Morales the man driving the action with a hijack raise to 900. A player on the button called and big blind Jeho Lee looked briefly interested but eventually elected to fold to take play heads-up.

The flop fell {4-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Morales flicked a yellow 1k chip off the top of his stack for a 1,000 continuation bet, which his opponent called.

The {k-Clubs} turn was the last card dealt in the hand, with a 2,000-chip second barrel from Morales enough to take down the pot and see Morales climb up to 33,000.
