Three players reached sixth street in a decent-sized pot with Eugene Katchalov showing three sevens on the board. He bet and both of his opponents called, including Itsuko Yoroi on his left.
Seventh was dealt and Katchalov now checked his option. Yoroi took the opportunity to bet herself. The third opponent folded and Katchalov made the call.
"I have a straight," announced Yoroi, "and an eight low." That was good enough to scoop the pot and build her stack to well above starting.
