Day 4 wasn't kind to Shaun Deeb; in fact, all he seemed to do was dwindle over the first two levels.
In a hand at the tail end of Level 20, Deeb moved all in from middle position for 162,000 and received a call from Artem Metalidi in the small blind.
Showdown
Deeb: 
Metalidi: 
"I got it in with my favorite hand," Deeb said before seeing the flop come down 
, which provide him with any help. The turn was just as useless, and Deeb needed either a king or queen on the river to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . With that, Deeb was eliminated from the tournament, and we're guessing he'll probably jump into the €10,000 High Roller event that just started.

It's not often one gets to see a six-bet, fold. Sebastian Sturmer did just that in a hand versus Jason Lavallee.
The German player opened to 20,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Lavallee on the button who three-bet to 47,000. The blinds folded so the action was back on Sturmer who put in a four-bet to 120,000.
Lavallee had an answer to that and it was to five-bet to 185,000. Strumer asked how much the Canadian had back and when he found out it was around 650,000 he six-bet to 300,000. Lavallee thought for a moment and then announced he was all in.
There was no immediate call from the Strumer and that prompted Lavallee to say, "No shame in folding!"
"I'm strong" came the reply.
Another minute went by and Strumer gave up and folded whilst flashing 
. Lavalle made sure no one was looking behind him, squeezed his cards, and flashed 
. The Canadian is having a very strong day where he's won almost every pot he's played.
Wodering how much game Lavallee's got? Check out his Tweet:
