Yachatz

We break the middle matzah, then we break more matzah and a few dishes, because it feels good to break something.

More seriously: 

Take the middle matzah and break it into two (unless you're some kind of matzah breaking ninja, one piece will be larger than the other).

The larger piece is set aside to serve as Afikoman. This is traditionally hidden, by the leader of the Seder for the children to “steal” or “find” and then ransom for a something at the end of the Seder.

The smaller piece is put back, between the other two matzot. We'll get to it.
