A few hands after their massive confrontation, Shaun Deeb raised to 40,000, then called when Robert Mizrachi shoved for his last 400,000.

Mizrachi was dominated but took the lead on the 9♦6♦5♦ flop with a pair of nines. The turn, thought, was a disaster as Deeb hit the K♦ to retake the lead.
The river came the 5♠ and Mizrachi was suddenly sent to the rail a few minutes into Day 3.
"Hand history," Nick Schulman asked Deeb from another table as Deeb recounted their two all-in battles so far today.
"I just want to battle with you, Nick. I'll let you dress me if we make the final table. Everyone says you're style is better than mine," Deeb replied.

Shaun Deeb: Q♠Q♥
Robert Mizrachi: J♦J♣
The board came 2♥9♦8♣6♣5♥, scoring Deeb a massive double-up to joining the top of the leaderboard, while leaving Mizrachi among the short stacks.
