Samy Boujmala made it 655,00 to go on the button and left himself just a few chips behind. Allen Shen was next to act in the small blind and he shoved, then when it got back to Boujmala, he called.
Samy Boujmala: K♦7♣
Allen Shen: A♠K♥
Shen had picked up Big Slick again and was the favorite to win the hand and eliminate Boujmala. It was all going to plan for Shen on the 5♠5♥6♦Q♥ board, but the 7♦ river gave Boujmala a pair and kept him alive.

After the action folded around, Xiaohu Liu limped in from the small blind, and Rafael Mota checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 4♥A♠3♣, and Liu led out with a small bet of 100,000, which the dealer corrected to the minimum 120,000. Mota responded with a raise to 275,000, and Liu made the call.
Both players checked the 10♣ turn, bringing the 4♣ on the river. Liu then fired out a bet of 400,000, and Mota quickly called.
Liu revealed the “small blind special” — 7♣4♦ for trip fours — and Mota mucked his hand as Liu dragged in a healthy pot.

Allen Shen raised to 760,000, leaving just 20,000 behind, effectively putting himself all in on the cusp of the money ladder bubble. From the big blind, Benjamin Williams applied maximum pressure with a three-bet to cover Shen.
Noticing an all-in at the other table, Shen wisely paused his decision, stalling until the hand concluded. His patience paid off—he successfully laddered up and secured a pay jump before committing the rest of his chips.
Shen made the call.
Allen Shen: A♥2♦
Benjamin Williams: A♦4♥
The board came out very friendly with J♦Q♦9♣8♣Q♣, and a chopped pot allowed Shen to survive another shove.
