Players are now on break
The tournament staff are coloring up and racing off the 500 chips, so the 11 remaining players are taking a brief break. When they resume, they will be playing 4,000/8,000 blinds with a 1,000 ante.
$500 Six Handed Is In The Money
Without even getting to hand-for-hand, two players were simultaneously knocked out when there were 20 players remaining. Lacking much drama, the 18 remaining players are now in the money and are guaranteed $1,336.

It was a limped pot between all three players, and action checked to Jack D'Agostino who bet on a J♦7♠9♠ flop. Daniel Pignatoro check raised all in, and Kevin McCormick also moved all in.

The turn and river fell 4♣6♣, and Daniel was eliminated in 3rd place, good for a $16,616 payday.
