Simon Kaiser Eliminated in 16th Place ($16,571); Ruoxiao Shi Eliminated in 17th Place ($16,571)
A double knockout just saw both Simon Kaiser and Ruoxiao Shi hit the rail.
First, Shi shoved from the small blind for 1,850,000 and Allan Le called in the big blind with 1,840,000.
Allan Le: A♠9♣ 
Ruoxiao Shi: 9♦5♦
Shi was dominated and despite flopping a gutshot on 6♠K♠7♣, he couldn't catch up as the runout of 7♠3♦ kept the ace-high of Le in the lead.
In the very next hand, Shi called for his last 10,000 on the button, Le shoved the small blind, and Kaiser called off his stack of around 2,500,000 from the big blind.
Ruoxiao Shi: Q♥5♥
Simon Kaiser: A♣J♠
Allan Le: J♦10♦
Kaiser was poised to score a big double-up, but the 8♣10♠6♥ flop had other ideas as Le took the lead. An 8♦ on the turn put Shi and Kaiser one step closer to elimination, and the 4♣ river confirmed it.
