It's dinner time from the Amazon Room and the four surviving players will have 90-minutes with which to relax and regroup in preparation for the long night ahead. Here are the highlights from the last few rounds of play:

Rahme Muscles Yang

Jerry Yang raises to $1.5 million and Raymond Rahme announces a re-raise. He adds $5 million to the wager and Yang lays it down. Rahme takes the pot.

Pot for Lam

Tuan Lam raises to $1.2 million and Alex Kravchenko makes the call. The flop comes As 8d 5h and Kravchenko bets to Lam, who bets $2 million. Kravchenko folds and Lam takes down the pot.

Yang Continues to Exert

Jerry Yang raises to $1.5 million from under the gun and Alex Kravchenko makes the call in the big blind. The flop comes Ks Jh 2d and Kravchenko checks to Yang, who bets out $3 million. After a few moments' thought, Kravchenko lays it down and the hand is Yang's.

Pot for Rahme

Tuan Lam raises to $1.2 million and Raymond Rahme makes the call. We're heads-up going to the flop, which comes Js 5d 2s. Rayme bets out $2.2 million and Lam lays the hand down, giving Rahme the pot.

Rahme Outmaneuvers Kravchenko

Alex Kravchenko raises to $1.1 million from under the gun and Raymond Rahme makes the call. The flop comes Ac 7h 2s and Rahme checks to Kravchenko, who bets out $1.1 million. Rahme announces all-in and Kravchenko lays it down, again. Rahme takes the pot.

Kravchenko Shoves Back

Raymond Rahme raises to $1.5 million from the small blind and Alex Kravchenko immediately shoves all-in from the big blind for another $7.6 million. Rahme starts to talk to Kravchenko, trying to get a read on the inscrutable Russian, but Kravchenko remains stone-faced. After a few minutes of rumination, Rahme lays it down and Kravchenko takes the pot.

Action will resume at 8:30 p.m. PDT. In the meantime, grab some Cheetos and get your chip count fix here!

Kravchenko Doubles Again 2 years ago

Jerry Yang raises to $1.5 million and Alex Kravchenko moves all-in over the top. Yang asks for a chip count and the answer is $7.5 million. Yang thinks for a few minutes before making the call with Ks Qh to Kravchenko's 3s 3c, meaning the Russian needs to dodge a king or a queen or a strange running combination to stay alive in this match.

The audience cheers its approval as the players stand to wait for the flop, which comes 8c 3h 2s to give Kravchenko a set and send a huge roar through the TV final table. David "Devilfish" Ulliott approaches Kravchenko to shake his hand as Yang is drawing dead, and after the board finishes out 5s Kd Kravchenko has doubled up again at this final table, bringing his stack to about $18 million as he takes another bite out of Jerry Yang.
