James Cheung: K♥5♥/7♣9♣4♣8♥/9♠All in
Naoya Kihara: J♣10♣/5♣10♥2♦K♠/J♠

James Cheung completed and Naoya Kihara raised. Cheung moved all in for his remaining chips and Kihara quickly called to set up a showdown.

Kihara immediately paired his ten on fourth street and Cheung was only able to pick up a gut shot draw by sixth.

Kihara turned over a jack on seventh for two pair, and Cheung slowly squeezed his final card, which turned out to be a 9x — leaving him second-best with a pair of nines to be eliminated in second place.
