Players return to blinds of 1,500/3,000/3,000 in the 8-max event. Leading the way is Sanjeev Kapoor with 553,500 and Kapoor just scored a double elimination on the first hand back from break.

Kapoor was under the gun and opened to 6,600. Action folded around to Simon in the small blind, who called. Gabriel Gutierrez was in the big blind and moved all-in. Kapoor jammed over the top and Webster called it off.
