Players are on their second 20-minute break of the day, in which the T-500 chips are raced off.

Check out what ZEDD had to say after his 3rd place finish in Event #25.

Bonanata Takes Nearly All Of Thorel

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The board was reading {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and the action wasn't really clear but it appeared Jean-Noel Thorel had bet 30,000. Marcelo Bonanata raised all in for 180,000 and Thorel called directly.

Marcelo Bonanata: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Jean-Noel Thorel: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}

Thorel was drawing dead with his pair of jacks against Bonanata's Broadway and was left with 8,000 after the {5-Spades} river.

Zoufri Scores A Big Double

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Hakim Zoufri
Hakim Zoufri

With around 65,000 in the pot, Rocco Palumbo bet 20,000 on an {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop. Hakim Zoufri went all in for 165,000 and Polumbo called after some hesitation.

Rocco Palumbo: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Hakim Zoufri: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Zoufri was freerolling with the flush draw and hit it directly on the {Q-Clubs} turn, rendering the {J-Diamonds} river moot.

Seidel Out A Second Time

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Erik Seidel's didn't fare much better on his second bullet, as he ran out of chips again. The super high roller, who already amassed an astonishing $32 million dollars in lifetime winnings, was facing an all in shove from Plesuv on an {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} board.

Seidel had 63,000 behind and called after considering it briefly. Plesuv showed {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a queen-high flush and Seidel mucked {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.
