Jordan Meltzer (Decorah, IA)

After (15) hands on the money bubble, we lose two players on the same hand, sending players off to dinner break (and in the money).  First it was Michael Pawalek busting on Table 3, seemingly sealing the deal for the rest of the field.  Only seconds after though, at Table 1, Jordan Meltzer would call the six big blind shove of Scott Katelan.  His Q♠ 10♣ would river a pair against the A♠ K♠ of Katelan, and the two would split 45th place money.

45. Scott Katelan ($614)

45. Michael Pawalek ($614)

Dinner break will run from 6:00-7:00pm, with live coverage of the event picking up when play resumes.
