After a flop of Diamond 9Spade 8Spade 5 and unknown betting action, Iori Yogo check-raises all in from the big blind for 33,400. The under-the-gun player folds, and Sparrow Cheung calls from the button with Heart 5Diamond 5 (set of fives). Yogo turns over Diamond JSpade 9 (pair of nines), and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The turn is the Diamond Q, the river is the Diamond 4, and Cheung wins the pot with his set of fives to eliminate Yogo from the tournament.
