The final hand before the break saw the board read 
, with Sebastian Martineau moving all in for 515,000 in chips. Monica Eastick was the other player in the hand, and asked the dealer how much was in the pot.

Mulligan bet out 83,000, before he was faced with an instant all in for approximately 500,000 in chips.

It was inevitable, that with such a short-stack, Miroslav Sheynin would eventually commit the last of his chips. The action folded around to him in the cut-off, and he pushed in his remaining 190,000 in chips. Pravin Harji made the call from the small blind, and the cards were shown.

, and Sheynin continued with a bet of 60,000, before Smith announced a raise, making it 140,000. Sheynin paused for a moment, before announcing all in, for 600,000 which was snap-called.
Sheynin:

, some thought that Sheynin had won the hand. Smith, however, made a queen-high straight, to win the pot, and move to over a million in chips.
