There was all in action preflop between Robert Trojan from early position and Yinglun Xu from the small blind.

Yinglun Xu: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Robert Trojan: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Trojan had Xu crushed and looked good to grab a much needed double until the {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop hit the felt.

The {8-Diamonds} came on the turn and Trojan needed a seven to fall on the river to win the hand but it came the 3h] to eliminate him from the tournament.
