Alex Yen was all in from the small blind for 325,000 with AhAc, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the Ad2c of Asher Neaman, who barely had him covered from the big blind with a stack of 335,000.

The board came Qh10c4h5d3h, and Neaman catches a runner-runner five-high straight to win the pot and eliminate Yen in seventh place.
