9:29 p.m.: Dinner break
The remaining 11 players are now taking a 75-minute dinner break, with Jose Carlos Garcia having built back up to 16 million to move back in front.
Here are the updated chip counts for the remaining players:
Jose Carlos Garcia - 16,005,000
Mario Lopez - 13,045,000
Knut Nystedt - 10,965,000
Eduard Sanchez - 9,005,000
Simon Peter Sennhauser - 7,885,000
Jonn Forst - 7,265,000
Kondah Abdelhadi - 5,501,000
Daniel Selles - 5,530,000
Slav Sariyski - 2,920,000
Esa Karttunen - 2,530,000
David Stocker - 1,225,000
9:24 p.m.: Ruban's aces cracked, finishes 12th
In the next-to-last hand before the dinner break, Ivan Ruban was all in with [Ac][Ah] versus Knut Nystedt's [Ad][Ks] and in seemingly good shape to earn a double-up.
He was still ahead after the [Jc][Ts][8c] flop and [6d] turn, then the [Qd] landed on the river. "Boom!" said Ruban with a wry grin, taking his bad fortune in good stride as he congratulated Nystedt before walking over to the cashier's desk nearby to collect 12th-place winnings.
9:09 p.m.: Padraig O'Neill done in 13th
Jonn Forst opened with a raise then watched Padraig O'Neill reraise all in for about 2 million from the button. The blinds folded, and Forst instantly called, turning over [Ah][Ks]. O'Neill tabled [As][Th].
The board came [6s][Jh][3s], then [8s], then [8c], and O'Neill has been sent out in 13th.
8:54 p.m.: Christopher Frank out in 14th
The German Christopher Frank has been eliminated in 14th place after committing the last of his chips in a hand versus Mario Lopez.
Frank had [Jh][9h] and Lopez [Ad][Kc], and while the [Qs][Th][9s] flop paired Frank's hand plus gave him a straight draw, the [6h][Ac] runout gave Lopez a better pair of aces.
8:48 p.m.: Garcia knocks out two more - Senft (16th) and Olive (15th)
Jose Carlos Garcia has collected still more chips and a couple more knockouts as the field winnows to just 14 players.
First came a hand that saw Maximillian Senft all in with [Kd][Ks] against Garcia's [As][Jc]. The flop fell [2c][4d][Ah], and suddenly Senft went from well ahead to way behind. The turn was the [8d] and river the [Js], and Senft is out in 16th.
Then another hand soon developed that saw Garcia and Olive battling back and forth on each street to the river as the board came [6c][5d][Ks][7d][7h]. That's when Garcia shoved, and after some thought Olive called with the last of his stack.
Alas for the Frenchman, when he saw Garcia table [Kh][Js] he pushed his cards face down toward the dealer. They were eventually shown -- [Jh][Jc] -- and Olive is done in 15th.
Those pots look to have propelled Garcia back up close to the lead that Mario Lopez had been holding for the last stretch.
8:28 p.m.: David Longmate out in 17th
David Longmate was just all in and at risk with his below average stack with [Ah][8h] versus Daniel Selles's [Kc][Td].
The flop fell [6s][Ks][9d], and Longmate instantly rose from his chair while rapping the felt with his knuckles. The turn was the [2d] and river the [3d], and Selles's pair of kings won the pot, sending Longmate out in 17th.
With 16 left they're going to redraw for two tables, so there will be a brief pause. There's about 45 minutes to go in the level, after which players will take a 75-minute dinner break.
8:20 p.m.: Jude Ainsworth out in 18th
The knockouts are coming swiflty again, with Jude Ainsworth the one going down this time. The Irishman was all in with [Qh][Qd] against LAPT7 Chile Main Event champion Mario Lopez's [Ah][Qc], but an ace on the flop doomed Ainsworth and he's out in 18th.
8:16 p.m.: Level 30 begins
The blinds are now 60,000/120,000 with a 20,000 ante.
8:12 p.m.: Eugen Fritzler felted in 19th
Another short stack has fallen, as Eugen Fritzler just took [As][Kd] up against Eduard Sanchez, and five cards later -- [Td][2s][4s][Tc][9s] -- Fritzler was heading to the cashier's desk to collect 19th-place prize money.
7:54 p.m.: Oleksii Kravchuk cut down in 20th
Oleskii Kravchuk was all in and at risk with [9c][9h], but alas he'd run into Jose Carlos Garcia's [Qs][Qh]. The board rolled out [4d][8h][2h][Js][Ts], and the Ukrainian hit the rail.
7:52 p.m.: Karttunen collects a double
Esa Karttunen was just all in and at risk with [Th][Ts] versus Eduard's Sanchez's [As][Kd]. The board came nine-high -- [7c][9s][4c][5h][9d] -- and Karttunen doubles up though is still on the short side.
7:46 p.m.: Traply trapped, Blain busted; 20 remain
Online star Peter Traply of Hungary has fallen in 22nd, followed shortly thereafter by the Irishman Dermot Blain in 21st.
7:24 p.m.: Ainsworth doubles through Sennhauser
Jude Ainsworth just pushed all in from middle position for about 1.1 million and was called by Simon Peter Sennhauser in the blinds with [Kd][Qs]. The [Ah][4s][2s] flop was a nice one for Ainsworth, and the [4h] turn and [Kc] were just fine as well as he doubles back to about 2.4 million. Sennhauser still has a healthy 5.2 million.
7:15 p.m.: Updated chip counts (22 remain)
Argentina's Mario Lopez is the new leader with 22 players left.
Mario Lopez - 11,140,000
Daniel Selles - 7,450,000

Kondah Abdelhadi - 5,950,000

Peter Traply - 1,300,000
Lars Kjestrup - 1,300,000
Jude Ainsworth - 1,040,000
Eugen Fritzler - 1,050,000
7:14 p.m.: Level 29 begins
The blinds are now 50,000/100,000 with a 10,000 ante.
6:56 p.m.: Break time
The 22 remaining players are now on a 20-minute break. They return to play two more one-hour levels, then have a 75-minute dinner break. The plan continues to be to play down to an eight-handed final table tonight.
6:54 p.m.: Solovev, Kelsall fall, 22 remain
As the next break approaches, both Kirill Solovev (24th) and Mark Kelsall (23rd) have been eliminated.
6:51 p.m.: Redraw
With 24 players left, there was a redraw to three tables. Here's how they are seated:
TABLE 1
1 - Jonn Forst
2 - Simon Peter Sennhauser
3 - Kondah Abdelhadi
4 - Dermot Blain
5 - Jude Ainsworth
6 - Mario Lopez
7 - Mark Kelsall
8 - Knut Kystedt
TABLE 2
1 - Eduard Sanchez
2 - Laurent Olive
3 - Christopher Frank

5 - Esa Karttunen
6 - Peter Traply

2 - Slav Sariyski
3 - Jose Carlos Garcia
4 - Maximillian Senft
5 - Kirill Solovev
6 - Olekskii Kravchuk
7 - Daniel Selles
8 - David Longmate
6:41 p.m.: Luis Cortes done in 25th
A third quick bustout to report, this time concerning Luis Cortes.
Cortes pushed with [Kd][Ts] from the small blind and was quickly called by Eduard Sanchez with [Td][Th] one seat over. An [8c][6s][4d][4h][9c] runout was unhelpful for Cortes, who finishes in 25th.
6:29 p.m.: Virgil-Cristian Nicelescu falls in 26th
Virgil-Cristian Nicelescu was just all in and at risk with [Ac][Kc] versus Simon Peter Sennhauser's [3h][3c]. The community cards came [4d][Js][Ah][3d][9s], giving Sennhauser a set of treys and knocking Nicelescu out in 26th.
6:26 p.m.: Benjamin Garcia out in 27th
After losing most of his stack in a hand versus Slav Sariyski, Benjamin Garcia lost the last of his stack shortly thereafter to Jonn Forst after committing from the small blind with [Qs][4c], getting called by Forst in the big blind with [7s][7c], then watching a seven flop and nothing helpful come for him. Garcia finishes 27th.
6:17 p.m.: Two pair not enough for Brando, out in 28th
With the board showing [Kd][Ts][3c][Js] and a pot having already developed between Antonio Brando and Eduard Sanchez, Brando announced he was pushing all in and Sanchez was quick to call, the pair's stacks nearly even.
Brando showed [Ks][Th] for two pair, but Sanchez had turned a straight with [Qh][9h]. The chips were counted down and it was determined Sanchez had Brando covered by just a little, meaning Brando is out in 28th. Meanwhile Sanchez is back up to about 4.3 million.
6:02 p.m.: Savinelli sunk
Shortly after Mykhaylyuta's exit, Carlo Savinelli lost his short stack as well to be sent to the cashier's desk. There are now 28 players remaining.
5:55 p.m.: Mykhaylyuta falls to Sennhauser
Simon Peter Sennhauser opened with a raise of 180,000 from under the gun, and the table folded around to Albert Mykhaylyuta in the big blind. Mykhaylyuta considered for a few beats, then called the bet, leaving himself about 375,000 behind.
The flop came [6h][Tc][9h], and without too much hesitation Mykhaylyuta put the last of his chips in the middle. Sennhauser called immediately.
Mykhaylyuta showed [Kc][Th] for top pair of tens, but Sennhauser had that beat with [Js][Jc]. The turn was the [8c] and river the [Jh], and Mykhaylyuta is out in 30th.
5:48 p.m.: Jean busts to Blain
Mikael Jean has fallen in 31st place after committing the last of his short stack with [Ad][Qh] versus the [Ks][Qs] of Dermot Blain.
The board ran out [8h][Kc][3s][6h][Td], that king pairing Blain and ending Jean's run. Blain now has about 2.9 million.
5:42 p.m: Level 28 begins
With 31 players remaining, Level 28 starts with blinds at 40,000/80,000 and the ante still 10,000.
5:32 p.m.: Down to 31
Add Antonina Anapolska (34th), Daniele Primerano (33rd), and Guillermo Torrens Ballabriga (32nd) to the list of the eliminated.
5:17 p.m.: Three more fall; 34 left
The blinds are getting bigger, and the short stacks are falling as a result. Mathieu Rabalison (37th), Konstantinos Stratopoulos (36th), and Sam Chartier (35th) are the most recent to hit the rail.
