Event 17 (Day 2): Yaginuma Falls Short/Flurry Of Action

Level 15 (Blinds 1,200/2,400/300)
Total Entries: 178
Players Remaining: 29

The action has just suddenly picked up as four players are lost in a span of (10) minutes.  Matthew Aaron was the first to be eliminated, followed by notable Maryland pro Jesse Yaginuma.  Then just moments ago, there would be a three-way all-in at Table 29 with both Cliff Goldkind and Andrew Franklin at risk, with Elia Ahmadian having them both covered:

Franklin: Kx Kx       Goldkind: Ax Ax         Ahmadian: 9x 9x

Flop: 9x 8x 3x

Turn: 10x

River: Jx

Ahmadian would flop a set of nines, and immediately go from worst to first.  The turn and river would bring no help to either Goldkind or Franklin, and Elia would score the double knockout.
