David Prociak, 5th Place ($41,996)

The crazy string of quick hands continued and produced a three-way all-in on the very next hand.

Raminder Singh opened to 555,000 and David Prociak moved all-in from the cutoff for 4,075,000. Not to be left out, David Shaw moved in over the top for 4,715,000 and action was back on Singh.

He called the double shove with a chance for the double knockout.

Claudio Piedrabuena, 8th Place ($17,839)

Claudio Piedrabuena was the short stack at the table and picked up a small amount in a three-way chopped pot before he took another shot.

Players Remaining: 9
Average Stack: 6,330,000 (32 bb)

Thai Ha is no longer the runaway chip leader as Raminder Singh moves up. The big jump came in a four-way limped pot to the 6s5c4h flop with Singh, Ha, Jordan Meltzer, and Daniel Perez.

Singh led out for 250,000 and Meltzer was the only player to drop his hand before the Jh turn. Singh bet out again, this time for 550,000 and Perez once again called.

Ha raised it up to 1,875,000 and Singh called while Perez decided he’d had enough. Singh checked the Td river and Ha put out 2,000,000. It was a snap-call from Singh with 7d3d to beat Ha’s two-pair Jd5d for the huge pot.

Ha: 16,000,000
Singh: 13,900,000

Raminder Singh opened to 470,000 from middle position and picked up calls from Daniel Perez and Evgeniy Catane. David Shaw moved all-in for 1,850,000 from the big blind to get a tank fold from Singh, a quick fold from Perez, before Catane called with 8c8s.

Shaw needed to catch with AsQs and did exactly that on the Ac5h2h flop. He made Aces Up on the Qd turn and dodged Catane’s two outs on the 3h river to double up.

Shaw: 4,890,000
Catane: 4,700,000
