WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

Niel Mittelman found one double to get up to 3,400, lost some of those chips, then found himself all in again, with a 11,200 sidepot between Kevin Githens and Shawn Roberts.

Mark Morris (pictured) leans over to me and said he stepped out of the pot after Githens raised to 5,600 over the all-in of Mittelman, mentioning he mucked Eights.

You know what happens next, right?

   is the flop, that would have been a set for Morris. Meanwhile, Githens puts out all the 5k chips he has and Roberts folds, with Githens showing  .

Mittelman has AQ, does not get any help and is eliminated, buying back in before the break to have a fresh 30,000 stack in action.

Githens moves to 75,000 the same as Morris.

Players are now on a 15-minute break. When play resumes, action moves to

Level - 7
