John Alexander

37 players will be going to dinner break.

It was almost 38, but John Alexander knocked out Jack Duong about 5 minutes before the break.

Joe Galazzo raised to 32,000 pre-flop from hijack position and got a call from Alexander in cutoff position before Duong shoved all-in for roughly 250,000 from the small blind.

Galazzo thought for a while before folding. Alexander also thought for a little while, but decided to gamble.

Alexander: 9♣ 9♦       Duong: A♦ Q♣

Flop: J♥ 8♠ 2♦

Turn: 5♣

River: 4♠

The Nines held up, and Alexander goes to dinner as one of the chip leader (a full list of leaders will be provided momentarily).
