In the last hand before the break, there was a three-way preflop all-in situation involving Phil Hui (under the gun), Jon Turner (UTG+1), and the player in the big blind.

Phil Hui:  
Jon Turner:  
Big Blind:  

The board came — Turner turned a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Hui won the entire pot with his pocket fours to eliminate both players and collect two bounties in the same hand.

Phil Hui  –  120,000  (120 bb) + $1,000 in Bounties
Jon Turner  –  Eliminated

That was the last hand before the break, and registration closes at the end of the break.
