First into the pot, Shaun Deeb completed from the small blind, and Timex made it 625 from the big. Deeb quickly called. The flop came out
, and Deeb checked. When McDonald bet 700, Deeb stuck in a check-raise to 2,025. After a long session in the tank, McDonald three-bet it up to 3,325, and Deeb grabbed a big stack of yellow chips and plunked them into the pot. Facing a bet for his tournament life, McDonald committed his last ~10,000 chips to the pot, all in and at risk.Showdown

Deeb:
McDonald was ahead with top pair, but Deeb was open ended for the knockout. The turn
was a blank boardpair, but the 
that hit the river was no blank. Deeb's straight earns him the pot and the added benefit of removing a dangerous player on his immediate left.McDonald is out, and Deeb's stack has now grown to about 75,000.
