Deeb Leaves Hall Short as Vitch Departs

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 1,200 ante

Shaun Deeb had open-raised in middle position when he called hijack Galen Hall's three-bet to 7,000. Both players then drew one card, after which Deeb checked it over to Hall.

Hall piled in 16,000 chips, worth about half his stack. Deeb quickly put in the rest as well, sending Hall into a tank of several minutes. Eventually, he let his hand go to leave himself a stack of less than 20 big blinds.

During the hand, Christopher Vitch was seen standing up and leaving his seat as he had been eliminated on his first bullet.
