Ace-King high was enough for Ngata to stay alive and get the double.

There's never a good way to bust from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. But there aren't many ways more soul-crushing than with pocket aces deep on Day 7. Just ask Daniel Zadok.
At the time of publishing, 26 of the record-setting 10,112 players in the $10,000 buy-in world championship event remained. A minimum payout of $350,000 is in store for every player still kicking. Zadok, thanks to an unfortunate flop, is not one of them.
When arriving at the table PokerNews was informed that one player, who shall remain unnamed was the sheriff, yet during the following hand he did nothing to stop the result.
Elliot Smith from Canada who braved the freezing snow to emerge on a snowmobile to attend this poker tournament in the desert raised from under the gun to 37,000 and the player in the hijack made the call. The flop arrived with 8♣J♥9♣ and both players checked.
The turn had the same result with the 10♥ which prompted a check from both players.
The river Q♠ brought a giggle from the dealer, I believe the table has been making her laugh but it also brought a bet from Smith for 65,000. The hijack called and mucked when Smith turned over K♠K♥ for the straight.
The sheriff was minding his own business probably busy finding criminals on his phone.
