Kao Saechao: Q♠K♥6♦/Q♥Q♣3♠4♣
Kevin Chance: 3♥5♥5♦/7♠10♠7♣4♦

Action was picked up on fifth street. Kao Saechao had fired a bet and Kevin Chance was debating whether or not to call off with his final chips.

"I hope you don't have a third queen" Chance said as he made the call.

"I do" Saechao replied, tabling trip queens.

Saechao stayed ahead with his trip queens on sixth and seventh. Chance had outs to chop with a low but ultimately ended up with two pair, fives and threes for an inferior high hand, resulting in his elimination.
