James Mendoza raised to 900,000 from under the gun. Action was folded to Nazar Buhaiov on the button, who declared all in.

Robert Schulz, on his immediate left, promptly reshoved for 8,375,000 giving Mendoza some thinking to do.

After about a minute, Mendoza folded, leaving Schulz and Buhaiov heads up, with the latter at risk.

Nazar Buhaiov: 9?9?
Robert Schulz: A?K?

The flop came A?2?3?, shooting Schulz into the lead. The turn and river were no help to Buhaiov, falling Q? 2? — and he exited the event. The remaining players all now have six-figure payouts locked up.
