Mieda Stays Alive... Somehow
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Riku Mieda opened the action on the button with a raise to 21,500,000, leaving just 3,500,000 behind. Eric Rabelas made the call from the big blind. On a 8♦2♦2♥ flop, Rabelas put Mieda all in. On a pay jump, he waited some time before eventually making the call.
Riku Mieda: K♠9♣ 
Eric Rabelas: A♥K♦
Mieda needed to find one of just three outs, which didn't come on the 5♥ turn, however the miracle 9♦ river kept him alive, as he shouted "Yes!" and went to celebrate with his rail, to the displeasure of his tablemates hoping to make the next payjump.
