Hamza Miri was kind enough to recount what had happened: "That was an amazing pot. Holke raised to 5,500 for no reason and Andreev called from the button. I folded queen-nine in the big blind. The flop came nine-queen-nine and they both checked. The turn was the four. Holke bet 5,000 and Andreev called.
