The remaining 15 players have been sent on an extended 70-minute lunch break. Action will resume at approximately 4:46 p.m. local time. The PokerNews live updates will resume when the livestream gets back underway.
Check out some highlights from the second level of Day 8:
In a three-way pot that checked through on the flop of 5♠5♣10♠ and 2♦ turn, Evagoras Evagorou bet 1,900,000 on the 9♠ river and Lucas Jumalon raised to 6,700,000.
Trayner then three-bet to 16,200,000. Evagorou folded and Jumalon laid it down.
On a flop of J♣J♦K♥, Tolga Karakaya checked and Han Feng bet 900,000. Karakaya called.
Karakaya checked again on the J♥ turn and Feng bet 2,000,000. Karakaya check-raised to 9,500,000 and Feng folded.
Antonio Galiana raised to 1,600,000 in the hijack with 9♠9♥, and Daniel Savas called in the small blind holding K♦2♦; Shaun Deeb also defended J♠10♦ in the big blind. Three ways to the Q♠10♥8♥ flop, Savas checked, and Deeb pondered his next move before he pushed all in for 10,800,000 with his pair of tens. Galiana got out of the way, and so did Savas.
"Let's go, Shaun!" the inevitable shout by Mike Thorpe came from the rail immediately while the pot was pushed towards Deeb.
Rami Hammoud then raised to 1,700,000 with 10♦10♣, and Hossein Ensan called from his big blind to the A♠Q♦7♠ flop. Hammoud bet 1,000,000, and Ensan folded 5♦5♣.
Hossein Ensan raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff, Rami Hammoud three-bet to 8,200,000 in the big blind, and Ensan folded.
Michael Gagliano then opened to 1,800,000 in the cutoff and Hammoud three-bet again, making it 7,200,000 from the small blind. Gagliano also folded.
The next hand, Shaun Deeb raised to 1,600,000 under the gun and Ensan called in middle position. Antonio Galiana picked up K♥K♣ and three-bet to 5,600,000 in the cutoff, and Hammoud four-bet to 12,500,000 on the button.
Deeb and Ensan quickly folded, but Galiana then moved all in for 46,100,000. Hammoud tanked for more than a minute before giving up Q♥Q♦, and the Spanish rail erupted in celebration as Galiana took down the big pot.
Han Feng called in the small blind and Lauri Saaskilahti raised to 2,400,000 in the big blind with J♥J♣. Feng called.
Feng checked on the flop of 6♣A♠10♣ and Saaskilahti bet 2,500,000. Feng folded 9♦7♦.
Shaun Deeb raised it up to 1,600,000 in the cutoff and Michael Gagliano three-bet jammed for 13,800,000 in the small blind. The action folded back to Deeb and he called for essentially half of his stack.
Michael Gagliano: 10♠10♥ 
Shaun Deeb: A♣J♠
The rail was silently awaiting the board and even "Crazy Mike" didn't say a single word. It stayed silent throughout the Q♥9♥6♠9♠K♦ board, after which only one spectator celebrated: Daniel Strelitz.
"Thank you Danny," Gagliano said as he turned around briefly before stacking up the chips.
Lucas Jumalon raised to 1,600,000, and Malcolm Trayner called.
Jumalon continued on the flop of J♥7♠A♦, and Trayner bet 1,800,000. Jumalon called.
Jumalon checked again on the 6♥ turn. Trayner bet 3,500,000. Jumalon called.
Jumalon checked once more on the A♠ river, and Trayner checked back. Jumalon showed A♥4♥, and it was good to win the pot as his rail roared in celebration.
Daniel Savas raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff and Hossein Ensan defended his big blind.
Savas continued for 1,000,000 on the 10♣4♠3♣ flop, and Ensan called. Savas bet another 1,500,000 on the J♠ turn, and Ensan folded this time.
Savas showed J♥10♥ as he took the pot.
The next hand, Antonio Galiana raised to 1,600,000 under the gun and Savas called in the hijack.
Galiana checked the 8♥5♥4♣ flop, and Savas bet 1,000,000. Galiana called.
The 3♠ turn and 2♦ river were checked down, and Savas showed 8♠8♦ for a flopped set to win another pot.
Daniel Savas raised it to 1,600,000 on the button, and Brock Wilson pushed all in for 10,100,000 in the big blind. After getting a count and short consideration only, Savas called, and the cards were flipped over.
Brock Wilson: K♥J♠
Daniel Savas: 9♥8♥
Wilson was at risk but ahead, which changed on the 10♣9♦6♥ flop that gave Savas middle pair and a gutshot. Wilson had two overcards and a gutshot to a higher straight, but lost some outs with the 4♥ turn. One of the two players improved, and it was Savas, who hit a flush thanks to the 10♥ river to send Wilson to the rail in 16th place for $410,475.
