Sebastien Compte Eliminated in 14th Place ($53,500); Mehdi Chaoui Eliminated in 13th Place ($64,200)
Shankui Li opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Mehdi Chaoui shoved for 380,000 from the small blind. Sebastien Compte then reshoved from the big blind for 360,000. Li got confirmation of the stacks then made the call, which put two players at risk.
Sebastien Compte: A♥Q♥ 
Mehdi Chaoui: A♠J♣
Shankui Li: 6♥6♣
Li had a good opportunity to eliminate two players in one swoop, and his pocket sixes kept their lead on the 8♦10♣K♠ flop, which also meant Compte & Chaoui swapped outs. The 9♥ turn added a few more outs for Chaoui, as any seven would give him a straight, but the 8♠ river meant Li's sixes held, which sent Compte and Chaoui to the payout desk.
As Chaoui had 20,000 more chips than Compte, he takes the higher place and the $10,700 pay jump!
