Dean Lyall raised to 1,300,000 on the button, around half his stack. Shaun Deeb then contemplated his options for a while in the big blind before eventually shoving the covering stack. Lyall called for his tournament life.

Shaun Deeb: A♥9♦
Both players made the same hand on the K♦A♠K♠6♠Q♠ runout and they divided the pot evenly.

Yingui Li raised to 500,000 in the cutoff with A♦3♦ and received a call from big blind Nick Schulman, who had 8♠6♠.
Schulman then led out for 350,000 on the 3♠3♣8♦ flop and Li just flat-called with his trips. Li was upgraded to a full house on the A♠ turn, but he played it slowly as the action went check-check.
The 8♣ came on the river, seeing both players hit a full house. Schulman made a bet of 2,600,000 with his eights full, and Li called off with his threes full.
He saw the bad news at showdown and had to forfeit a large portion of his stack to the chipleader.

After Nick Schulman had taken down a few pots with preflop action, he raised again, this time to 525,000 as first to act. Roberto Perez then jammed all in for 1,850,000 next to him, and the action folded back to Schulman, who stuck in a call.
Roberto Perez: 8♥8♦
Nick Schulman: A♠3♠
No ace arrived on the 2♥6♥J♣10♣9♠ runout, securing the double-up for Perez and leaving the table eight-handed still.

Noel Rodriguez raised to 500,000 in the hijack before Nick Schulman jammed all in in the cutoff, covering the rest of the table.
It folded back to Rodriguez, who immediately called off his stack of 3,625,000 chips.
Noel Rodriguez: K♠K♥
Nick Schulman: Q♥10♥
Schulman was left drawing dead on the 4♠A♦3♦9♥ turn, and the 3♣ river was dealt as a formality before Rodriguez was awarded the pot, reclaiming his second place on the leaderboard.
