Event 1: Dinner Time

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NL (2 Re-entry)   

Blinds are up to 15k/30k with 4k antes.

On the river, the board read J 8 7 A 4 with three hearts.  Seat 5 checked to chip leader Steven Macchia, who moved all-in.  Seat 5 tanked for several minutes and eventually another player called for the clock.  Before his time expired, the player called.  Steven showed pocket 4s for the rivered set.  Another player hit the rail and the big stack got bigger.

 Ryan Wood

Steven is up to 2.4 million and leading the pack.  Ryan Wood is second with just over 2 million.

45 remaining players have been sent on a one hour dinner break.  Play will resume at 8:30pm.

Average stack is almost 818k.
