Chen Survives
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Simone Andrian opened the button to 160,000 and Zhen Chen made it 570,000 from the small blind. Aleksandr Chernikov then shoved from the big blind, Andrian folded, and Chen called off his stack of around 1,100,000 total.
Zhen Chen: A♥9♣ 
Aleksandr Chernikov: 9♥9♦
It was Chernikov's turn to have an opportunity to bring play down to the final two, however he was left with one out after the 8♥6♥A♦ flop paired Chen's ace. No miracle one-outer arrived on the 8♠7♥ runout, and Chen survived.
