Benjamin Jones raised to 2,000 in early position and Oleksandr Shevchenko called in middle position. Igor Picone then moved all in for 21,000 in the cutoff, Endrit Geci reshoved in the big blind, and both Jones and Shevchenko folded.
Igor Picone: A♣10♥ 
Endrit Geci: 9♠9♥
Picone needed to overcome Geci's pair to stay alive, but he missed the 4♦3♣4♣2♥3♠ board and was sent to the rail.
Husam Kchok raised to 1,600 from the hijack and Sumire Uenomachi called on the button. Sim Kok Wai also called from the big blind.
All three checked the 6♣5♦8♣ flop to the 2♣ turn, where when it got to Uenomachi, she bet 2,800. Wai called, but Kchok folded.
A 9♠ hit the river and after Wai checked, Uenomachi bet 7,000. Wai let it go.

A total of 710 players reached the end of Level 6 and are now on a 75-minute dinner break. Play is set to resume at 7:55 pm local time.
Fintan Hand and Leo Worthington-Leese had built a pot of around 20,000 on an all-club board of J♣Q♣8♣3♣. Hand was in the small blind and checked it over, and Worthington-Leese also knuckled back.
The 5♠ on the river was also checked down, and Hand flipped A♦J♥ for a pair of jacks. Worthington-Leese didn't have that beat as his cards hit the muck, which gave Hand a boost to his stack as the dinner break approached.
Giorgio Donzelli raised to 1,500 under the gun and James Carroll three-bet to 4,800 on the button. Benny Glaser then moved all in for 17,200 in the big blind and Donzelli gave it some thought before folding, but Carroll snap-called to put Glaser at risk.
Benny Glaser: A♠K♠
James Carroll: K♥K♣
Glaser was left looking for an ace against Carroll's kings, but no help arrived on the 7♣2♠5♣7♥J♣ board and he was sent to the rail.
Glaser had taken the seat of Axel Hallay, whose "chip-and-a-chair story" did not have a fairy tale ending after all.
The action was picked up on a board of Q♦6♣9♣7♦Q♣ after Peter Csecsetka in the small blind bet 4,300.
Malcolm Franchi in early position went deep into the tank. "I don't know what to do," he said before eventually making the call with A♠J♥ for ace-high.
Csecsetka flipped over K♦8♦ for a missed flush draw, caught by Franchi who scooped the pot.
