Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

From under the gun, Niko Koop raised to 700,000 with three chips behind and Ryan Plant pushed all-in from the small blind for Koop to call.

Niko Koop: A♣K♠ All in
Ryan Plant: K♦K♣

There was no ace on the J♠6♦4♣J♥4♥ board to send Koop to the rail.

Nariman Yaghmai was more fortunate in his most recent all-in showdown. At risk for only 120,000 from under the gun, he was up against Day 1a chip leader Chih-Yuan Wang.

Nariman Yaghmai: Q♠5♠ All in
Chih-Yuan Wang: Q♣Q♥

The 10♦9♠8♠ flop gave Yaghmai outs for an upset and he asked for a spade. None came on the A♥ turn but the 2♠ river secured the survival of Yaghmai with a flush.

The K♦6♦5♣8♦5♥ board delivered no hearts or ace to send Song to the rail before the money bubble, too.
