The remaining players have been sent of a 60-minute dinner break.
Heads-up on a flop of Q♣6♠10♣, James Obst bet from the small blind and Igor Zektser called on the button.
The turn came the Q♥ and Obst bet again. Zektser called all in as the 10♠ fell on the river.
Zektser turned over 7♣5♥K♦A♠ and gave a fist pump as he thought he won the hand, but Obst had 7♥3♥6♥Xx for a pair of sixes to win the pot and eliminate Zektser in eighth place.
"Now I can take an extra-long dinner break," Zektser said as he made his exit.

Zektser showed A♠2♣4♣7♥ for the low, while Obst had A♦8♣6♠4♦ for two pair, aces and sixes, to win the high. Burnside flashed A♣J♣ before he mucked.
"Look at the size of this pot," Nick Kost observed as it took several minutes for the dealer to chop it up between Zektser and Obst.
