Everyone folded to the small blind Soohyeok Lee, he shoved. Big blind Jintae Yang tanked then risked his tournament life. 

At showdown, Yang was ahead holding 7 ♣️ 7 ♦️ against Lee's 5 ♦️ 5 ♥️ and was in great shape for a full boost. The board ran a clean Q ♥️ K ♦️ Q ♣️ until the turn found the 5 ♠️ giving Lee the set. The river 3 ♦️ was no help to Yang and he quickly headed out.
