Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Naoya Kihara called 20,000 on the button, Aaron Mermelstein called in the small blind, but Daniel Negreanu in the big blind raised to 160,000. Both Kihara and Mermelstein called.

The flop came 7♥6♥2♠, and Mermelstein led all in for 255,000, Negreanu called and Kihara raised to 1,400,000 and Negreanu quickly folded.

Aaron Mermelstein: 8♠8♥7♦6♦ All in
Naoya Kihara: K♥K♣2♥2♦

The 2♣ on the turn ended Mermelstein's tournament, and the 10♠ completed the run out.
