Michael Mizrachi completed and Naoya Kihara called.
Mizrachi bet on fourth street and Kihara called. Kihara then bet on fifth, and Mizrachi called all in.
Kihara finished with 9♠8♠3♣3♥K♣ for two pair, nines and threes. Mizrachi had J♣8♣2♠5♣ showing by seventh and needed to improve, and he caught the J♠ to make jacks and threes and earn the double up.
"He's beatable," tablemate Brad Ruben said.
