Level 26: 25,000/50,000/5,000 Ante
With the pressure of being on the short stack and a possible discussion of a chop on the next hand, Sean Yu decided to risk it all.
After numerous attempts by Yu to get a chop and secure the trophy despite being the shortest stack remaining, Yu decided to challenge the new chip leader Emil Soffer.
After a flop of 
, Yu bet 260,000 and Soffer made the call. With a 
on the turn, Yu checked and Soffer bet 260,000. Yu then made the move all-in putting Soffer to a decision that could have cost him the chip lead if he was wrong. Soffer eventually made the call and it turned out to be the right one. Yu flipped over 
and Soffer showed his 
for top pair.
After a 
on the river, Yu was gone in 5th place. He wins $3,951 for his efforts in Event 17.
