Valkenaar Stays Alive

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

After an opening bet of 500,000 from Fabian Niederreiter in late position, John Valkenaar shoved all in for 625,000 from the button. When action returned to him, Niederreiter matched the difference for a call.

John Valkenaar: 9♠9♦ All in
Fabian Niederreiter: A♠2♠

Niederreiter needed an ace to hit the board to eliminate Valkenaar, but none was found on the Q♦K♠3♥4♦10♣ board. Valkenaar scooped the pot, glad to continue his run.
