More and more players are dropping out of the Main Event and among them were Martin Kozlov and Isaac Haxton, who joined the Pot-Limit Omaha event at the start of the new level. Kozlov's favourite game is Omaha, though the Australian won a Bracelet at the 2016 World Series of Poker in the 6-Max $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Championship.
Anson Tsang had busted the Omaha Event before the break still and may still opt to fire a second bullet.
Level six has come to an end, and this means the players have been sent into their second 15-minute break of the day.

Wei Zhao is no longer in his seat and the tournament ticket of the Chinese was waiting at a desk nearby, confirming the elimination of Zhao.

The two of them were in a hand with Maksim Shuts and Li bet the flop for 2,600 from the cutoff. Zhou folded, but Shuts called out of the big blind.
