Chef Up for Auction at Jeff Conine Charity Event — Chef Anthony Billisi (center) was up for auction during the break to cook a five-course meal for someone in their home.

The live auction took place during the break, and the first item up for bid was a five-course dinner prepared in your own home for up to six guests, specially prepared by Chef Anthony Billisi, who had been featured on the Food Network.

Most of the auction items centered around unique experiences like this, or interesting trip packages.

At the end of the break (around 10:00 pm), the action resumed in Level 9, with blinds at 500-1,500 with a 1,500 ante. There were about 150 players remaining, with an average chip stack around 24,500 (16 big blinds). The field should start to shrink pretty rapidly going forward.
