and Cakmak check-folded to a bet of 800,000, relegating him to shortest stack in the room.

For the third time in a row, James Romero found himself all in and at risk. This time, he three-bet shoved all in from the big blind after a raise from Emrah Cakmak, who quickly called.
James Romero: 
Emrah Cakmak: 
The 
flop brought top set for Cakmak but a flush draw for Romero. He whiffed the 
turn but got there on the 
river to go from 3 big blinds to nearly 30 in the span of three hands.
"He can't die!" Sam Higgs chuckled loudly.

James Romero may have been down after the previous hand, he's certainly not out yet after doubling twice in a row directly after the big hand. First, he got it in with 
for 495,000 against 
and hit all he needed on a 
board.
Next, from under the gun, he shove for 1,290,000 and this time, it was Stefano Schiano calling from the big blind. Romero held 
and rivered a straight against Schiano's 
to get back up to a workable stack.

Stefano Schiano open-shoved for 3,910,000 on the button and Mario Mosb?ck folded his small blind. James Romero thought for nearly three minutes before calling it off for the vast majority of his stack in the big blind.
Stefano Schiano: 
James Romero: 
Schiano may have been ahead preflop, he certainly wasn't anymore after the flop brought 
, bringing a myriad of possibilities for the American to walk away a winner. It turned out to be a case of 'too many outs', as neither the 
turn nor 
river completed one of Romero's many draws.
The American was left with just three big blinds after the hand.

flop. The turn was the and Mosb?ck checked. Romero opted for an overbet of 1,600,000, but Mosb?ck came along with the call.

In the first of two hands, Emrah Cakmak raised to 325,000 from the cutoff, Stefano Schiano three-bet shoved a little over 3 million on the button and Cakmak folded. The next hand, Cakmak raised again and now it was Jacquelyn Scott committing all her chips.
The shove was a tad more than 2.5 million and Cakmak needed more than a minute before calling it off.
Jacquelyn Scott: 
Emrah Cakmak:
Scott saw her first-ever deep run outside the U.S. end in sixth place after the 
board didn't bring any help. She received �42,000 for her accomplishment, the biggest cash since her WSOP Ladies Event win in 2015.
