Xu Survives on the River
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
George Mitri opened to 30,000 on the button before Eric Xu shoved his remaining 28,000 into the middle from the big blind.
Eric Xu: 7♦4♦ 
George Mitri: Q♣10♥
Mitri was looking to end the night by eliminating Xu, but a pair on the river of the 2♣5♦2♥3♥4♠ runout prevented that. Xu doubled his short stack and bubble play continued.
