Level 25
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Cong Pham raised to 450,000 from the hijack. Kayhan Mokri shoved his button and the blinds both folded. Pham called and was all in for 5,225,000.
Cong Pham: A♠K♠ 
Kayhan Mokri: 9♦9♣
Pham needed to win a flip to stay alive and soared into the lead with the A♣A♥7♥ flop.
The turn was the useless Q♠, but the river 9♥ saw Mokri hit his two-outer to send Pham to the rail in eighth place.
