. Shulman leads out with 1.5 million chips before Moon quickly announces a re-raise. He slides out a full stack of the beige chips totaling a cool 5 million. That's more than Shulman wants to play for, and he releases his hand.
Heads up now, the flop comes out
, and both players check-check the action. The turn is the 
, and Buchman doesn't pass this time. He counts out 2,700,000 and strings them into the pot. Moon double-checks his hole cards and sends them back to the dealer.
Antoine Saout - 59,025,000
Eric Buchman - 51,550,000
Joe Cada - 47,650,000
Darvin Moon - 31,775,000

After running through the chip counts for the spectators, the cards have been turned loose once again.
Three players in the pot take a three-heart flop,
. Action checks to Buchman. He fires out a bet of 3.0 million. That bet produces two folds and a win for Buchman.
The stage is about half as full as it was when Phil Ivey was around and almost all of the big names have vanished. Phil Hellmuth is still here hoping to see his student Jeff Shulman come back from the short stack and make it further.
Joe Cada has the button. Antoine Saout makes an oversized raise to 5.4 million from the small blind to put the pressure on the short stack to his left. Jeff Shulman quickly moves all in for an additional 200,000 on top, committing his final 5,600,000 chips to the hand. Saout takes care of the few remaining chips to put the controversial Shulman in immediate danger of elimination.
Showdown
Saout:
Shulman:
It's your standard coinflip for potentially millions of dollars as Shulman is looking to fade his opponent's overcards to stay alive. The board frowns on Shulman, though, as the dealer runs it out
. The nine on the flop vaults Saout into a big lead, and Shulman is unable to climb back into the hand. He's run out of chips, and he's headed over to the interview area to talk about his fifth-place finish. Shulman looks quite disappointed, but he'll pick up more than $700,000 to add to his July earnings.Saout is up to 62,925,000 after that knockout.
