A short-stacked Shaun Deeb (try saying that three times) shoved from the cutoff, for his last 53,000. He was called by the player sitting under gun.
Shaun Deeb: A♠K♠
Under the Gun: A♥9♠
The dealer spread a board of 5♣J♣6♥8♦K♦ to give Deeb a sweat-free — and much-needed — double up.

On a three-way flop of A♦7♥5♣, the first player bet 18,000 and was called by Rellie Sigua and Christopher Battenfield.
But when the turn came the 8♣, somehow all the chips got into the middle between Sigua and Battenfield while the other player quickly got out of the way. The cards were then tabled in this big pot, with Segua barely covering.
Sigua proudly flipped over A♣7♣ for a monster two-pair and the nut flush draw but it was still currently in second place versus Battenfield's 6♣9♣ for a turned straight. Battenfield also held two clubs that blocked Sigua's flush draw as an added bonus.
The river came the brick Q♠ for Battenfield to scoop the pot for a big double while Sigua was left with only 18,000 and wound up busting a few hands later.

Short-stacked Qiang Xu moved all in preflop and was called by Dong Meng to put him at risk of elimination.
Qiang Xu: Q♣J♦
Dong Meng: A♥Q♥
Xu needed some help to stay alive, and he sure got it on the flop of J♣3♣5♥ to give him the lead with a pair of jacks. The board completed with a 8♥7♥ runout and he was pushed the pot for a double-up.

With the hand already fully dealt and reading 9♠10♥K♣6♣9♦, David "ODB" Baker was all in and at risk, facing namesake Alexander Baker.
David Baker: 9♥9♣
Alexander Baker: 10♠10♣
OBD had hit a one-outer, catching the case nine to leave the other Baker on fumes. He would exit the tournament a few hands later.
