Mike Wattel has been loyally sweating Shawn Sheikhan for most of the evening, and Vanessa Rousso and Ali Eslami have been sweating Chad Brown since the dinner break.
In this three-way battle between Erik Seidel, Chad Brown, and Shawn Sheikhan, each player has been the chip leader, and each has also been the short stack. The big blinds and antes create some big swings.

Hand #119 - Chad Brown has the button in seat 2, he raises to 170,000, and Seidel calls from the big blind. Both players draw one card. Seidel checks, Brown bets 200,000, and Seidel folds. Chad Brown takes the pot.
Hand #117 - Shawn Sheikhan has the button in seat 7, he raises to 200,000, and Seidel thinks for nearly a minute before he moves all in from the small blind for about 1.15 million. Sheikhan thinks for about 15 seconds before he folds, and Seidel takes the pot.
