Bluem Makes a Premature Exit
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Samuel Auer-Klintmalm raised to 42,000 in early position, and Bastian Bluem called off his last 40,000 in the small blind.
Bastian Bluem: 10♣9♥4♦2♦ 
Samuel Auer-Klintmalm: A♦A♣10♦3♥
Bluem had run into Auer-Klintmalm's aces and was already up from his seat as the flop came K♦J♠5♦. He was about to leave the table as the 3♠ fell on the turn.
"Hold the chair," tablemate Krzysztof Magott told him as Bluem had picked up a straight draw, and he made his straight on the 6♠ river to miraculously survive.
