After close to eight hours of poker, event #2 broke for the 90 minute dinner break. Some very notable names had already beat feet for the exit.

Scott Montgomery and Tom 'durrrr' Dwan felt the need to be gentlemanly and hold the exit door open for their fellow poker players. They left the tournament 199th and 197th respectively. Other big names to make an early run for the Vegas nightlife included John Juanda, Daniel Negreanu, Peter Eastgate, Johnny Chan, Annie Duke, Barry Greenstein, and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson.

Justin Bonomo is tied for the lead with Antonio Esfandiari at the dinner break with 470,000 chips. No word if Justin had any well disguised clones playing and dumping chips to him.

Chris Moneymaker is in 3rd with 415K chips.

Of the 201 players that started the day, only 150 remain at the dinner break.
