A completed board of 965A9 was spread across the felt and two players had all of their chips in the middle. Diana Kalietina was the player at risk for 29,400 and her 66 were face up in front of her.

Her opponent, Mohammad Moayeri, flipped over his KK as he was forced to send over a double-up. Moayeri was left with just 2,000 chips after the hand and was soon heading out of the tournament area after being eliminated.
