Ryutaro Suzuki

David Lin jammed the small blind and Ryutaro Suzuki called for his stack of 265,000 from the big blind. Both drew one card and then showed their hands.

Ryutaro Suzuki: 9x7x5x4x All in
David Lin: KxQx10x6x

Lin caught an Ax, which meant Suzuki just had to not pair to stay alive and keep the tournament four-handed.

Suzuki and the rail were asking, "picture, picture", but the deck didn't comply, as instead he squeezed a 9x to give him a pair, sending him to the rail in fourth place.
