Both players hit top pair on the 5♥9♠8♦A♦J♣ board, while Shaw's queen-kicker continued to play to earn him the pot and send Barone to the rail.
Four players went to a flop of 2♠3♠Q♠ when John Malczan bet 1,500,000 from middle position. Only a player in the cutoff called.
The turn was the 10♦ and Malczan moved all in. His opponent quickly called for 2,500,000 and turned over K♦Q♥, but Malczan had A♥Q♣. The river was the A♠ and Malczan improved to two pair to win the pot and earn the knockout.

The remaining 37 players are going on a 60-minute dinner break. Action should resume around 7:45 p.m. local time.
A player in the cutoff moved all in for 2,450,000 and Greg Himmelbrand called in middle position.
All-In Player: A♣7♣
Greg Himmelbrand: K♣J♣
The flop came K♠K♦9♠ to give Himmelbrand trips, while the turn was the 2♠. The A♦ river arrived too late for the at-risk player, and he was sent to the rail.
John Malvasio opened from the cutoff and Michael Mann defended his big blind.
On the K♦4♠3♦ flop, Malvasio continued for 600,000 before Mann check-raised to 1,500,000, and Malvasio called.
The Q♦ turn checked through to the 3♠ river which saw Mann lead with a near-pot sized bet of 4,000,000. Malvasio did not like his situation but he felt his hand was too strong as he flicked in the call fairly quick.
He got the bad news as Mann tabled 4♥4♣ for a full house, and Malvasio flashed A♥A♦ as his aces were cracked in a massive pot.
Changfeng Fan moved all in for 1,125,000 in the hijack and Matthew Bennett reshoved for 4,500,000 on the button. Bin Weng called in the big blind to put both opponents at risk.
Changfeng Fan: J♥10♦
Matthew Bennett: A♥9♥
Bin Weng: 10♣10♥
Weng was ahead with his tens and had a chance for the double knockout, but Fan hit two pair on the K♥J♦K♠ flop. The J♠ turn improved him to a full house, while Bennett also hit two pair on the A♦ river. Fan tripled up, while Bennett took the side pot off Weng.
Will Failla raised to 450,000 on the button and John Malczan called in the big blind.
The flop came 6♦Q♣5♦ and Failla continued for 400,000. "I know you don't have the queen of hearts," Malczan said as he called.
"Do I need it?" Failla replied, and they saw the 2♦ fall on the turn. Both players checked, and the 8♠ fell on the river.
Failla then bet 1,500,000, and Malczan tanked for a few minutes before folding. Failla flashed the J♦ as he took the pot. "You'll see it on TV," he told Malczan.
A player raised to 1,900,000 in the cutoff with 50,000 behind. Adam Calabrese rejammed in the small blind, and his opponent called off the final 50,000 after trying to attain a payjump.
Cutoff: 9♠9♥
Adam Calabrese: Q♥Q♦
Calabrese was in good shape with the overpair, and the A♣5♦4♦3♦6♠ runout was clean for him as he scored the elimination.
