Jacob Schindler was all in against Daniel Negreanu with the board reading . Schindler's was behind Negreanu's , and fell even further behind when the turn brought the .
Schindler was drawing to one of two sixes, and amazingly the spiked on the river.
"I knew it," Negreanu professed. "I felt it in my heart."
Schindler doubled to 85,000, and we will still be hand-for-hand once we return from dinner break.
We've reached the end of Level 14 and the scheduled one-hour dinner break. In sixty minutes, 79 players will be returning to chips. And all but one will be making the money.
We're back, and although the clock says Level 15, we're still technically at the end of Level 14, playing 1,000/2,000/300 until the bubble bursts. We will then switch the limits at that time, and play out the rest of the 60-minute level.
During that lengthy first hand back from the break, Angel Guillen and Jude Ainsworth were engaged in a standoff of sorts that lasted well after all of the other tables had completed their hands.
The board read and there was close to 20,000 in the middle. Guillen had checked, and Ainsworth pushed all in. Guillen, with but 30,400 left behind, tanked for several minutes.
Noticing the tournament director standing nearby, Guillen asked "Is everyone waiting for me?" "This is the the last table, yes," came the reply. Another minute passed before finally Guillen folded. Ainsworth flipped over his hand -- for a straight -- and Guillen tapped the table.
Then came the announcement of Antony Ruberto's early bustout from across the room -- they were in the money! -- of which Guillen had been unaware when he was tanking. The man from Mexico broke into a wide, relieved-looking grin.
Guillen still has that stack of just over 30,000, while Ainsworth now sits with 82,000.
During that long first hand when players were waiting for Angel Guillen to make his decision, Samad Rashid was busy counting the chips of his neighbor, Justin Filtz.
"380… 400… 420," said Rashid, noting that Filtz -- our current chip leader -- has about 420,000. "Why did you come back?" said Rashid. "You could get some sleep in the room, man. Let us all bust out and come back later!"
Filtz chuckled, looking content in his seat as the next hand was finally being dealt. A count of Rashid's chips shows he has 148,000.
Daniel Reijmer raised to 5,000 from the cutoff position preflop and Eugene Todd called from the small blind. The flop came and Todd checked.
Reijmer bet 4,300 and Todd flat called. The turn brought the and Todd bet 8,200. Reijmer made the call. The hit on the river and Todd bet 17,000. Reijmer moved all in and Todd insta-called and turned over to send Reijmer to the rail.
Jesse Cohen open-shoved his last 20,400 from early position, Matt Jarvis called in middle position, and Brendon Rubie isolated from the blinds. Jarvis released, and the hands were opened.

Rubie:
Cohen was in a world of hurt, until the flop came down , giving him trips. The turn and river came , respectively, and Cohen tripled up.
"I think that's the first hand I've ever beaten you in," Cohen said to Rubie after the hand. "Live or online."
