Level 16

Martin Kabrhel limped in on the button with 4♥4♦, and Masato Yokosawa checked his option with 3♣2♥.
Yokosawa found a pair on the 6♥K♠3♥ flop, which was enough for him to check-call a bet of 4,000.
When the 3♦ hit the turn, Yokosawa switched gears, this time check-raising to 28,000 after Kabrhel had bet another 8,000.
"Emergency deuce", Kabrhel exclaimed when the 2♦ completed the board.
Undeterred, Yokosawa bet 26,000. Kabrhel responded with a chunky raise to 101,000, leaving just 80,000 behind. Yokosawa used a few time extensions before moving all in, asking Kabrhel to risk his tournament life. Kabrhel opted not to find a hero call and returned his cards to the dealer.
