Tran Evades Elimination
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Aaron Mermelstein opened to 1,000,000 from under the gun and was called by Vadim Rozin in middle position. Kenny Tran then moved all in for 14,000,000 out of the small blind. Mermelstein raised to 22,500,000 which convinced Rozin to get out of the way and Tran was officially at risk.

Tran was in dire straits with his tournament life on the line. No real help came on the 
flop but he did pick up flush outs on the 
turn. The 
river completed a miraculous comeback with Tran emitting a fist pump as he retook his seat,
