The reason for the elongated break has emerged, & it is a real weird one.
In the same room, the late stages (last 3 tables or so) of the 888 thing is taking place.
I don't know how many chips are in play - millions, for sure - but all the players have big stacks, obv.
Apparently, on one of the three tables, the Dealer became unwell - he had a seizure I'm reliably informed - & in doing so, he sort of fell on the table & all the players stacks got mixed up, & lots of chips got knocked onto the floor.
So trying to sort those chips it is something of a nightmare.
The WSOP "Floor" have kept all the players nice & calm, & seem to be sorting it as best they can.
Not sure I've ever heard of such a problem before.
Most importantly, of course, hope the Dealer soon recovers.

Stood at Chris's Table, I hear the familiar voice of Will Kassouf talking nineteen to the dozen, as per.
I wander across to take a look.
Will is in the Small Blind, & it has been folded round.
Will raises.
"I've got a big hand, I've got a big hand" he endlessly repeats.
The Big Blind is having none of it.
ALL-IN he asserts with great confidence, pushing a pretty decent stack across the line.
Will snaps, "I've got a big hand, I warned you, I've got a big hand. CALL".
Big Blind is loving life, he has the Queens.
Will turns over.....KINGS
"No scares on the flop please Dealer" Will says.
First card King.
Meanwhile, bad news.
Chris gets it all in with A-K v Villain's A-Q the perfect coup. Until a Queen turned.
