End of level and time for a color-up break.

 Adam Bragar

Shortly before the end of the level, Adam Bragar (New York, NY) made a tough all-in (300k) call on the turn with pocket Aces. 

His opponent had top pair with a flush draw and whiffed the river.  With that pot, he chipped up to over 1.1 million and took a huge chip lead (about half a million more than his closest rival).
