River Survival for Duan
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action was picked up on a board reading 4♦Q♥9♦. There was 350,000 in the middle, and Chao Duan had shoved for his remaining 340,000 chips. The only other play still in the hand, Fabian Niederreiter, made the call.
Chao Duan: 9♣7♣ 
Fabian Niederreiter: A♣A♦
Duan was way behind and in need of a miracle. It didn't come on the 8♣ turn, but the 9♥ river gave him trips, as he doubled up and survived.
