Jeffrey Nagata
Players are back from break and the yellow 1,000 chips have been removed from play. They’re going hand-for-hand as it is bubble-time.
Before the break, Jeffrey Nagata opened for 40,000, Shiraz Hasan 3-bet to 120,000, and Jeffrey called. The flop was rags with two hearts and Jeffrey shoved, having Shiraz covered. Shiraz said he had to call, tabling KK for the overpair. He was ahead of Jeffrey’s (nut flush draw) but at risk for his tournament life.
When a third heart landed on the river, Shiraz’s tournament life was snuffed out just a few spots from the money. Jeffrey chipped up to ~1.55 million.
Schuyler Twaddle appears to still hold the chip lead with ~1.7 million.

Level 20 is done and time for the first break of the day. They’re just three spots from the money when play resumes.
Miguel Reyes
Travis Hartshorn (button) had Miguel Reyes (sb) covered, but Miguel was all-in for 251,000 and ahead with KK. Travis was just coolered with QQ. The board of 6 5 3 9 7 meant nothing.
Miguel doubled up to ~530,000. Travis was left with about 500,000. That’s still plenty of ammo for the 2016 Fall Poker Open Champion to work with.
