With the board showing 10d7d5c9c on the turn, Martins Adeniya got it all in from middle position with QhQd, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the 8d3d (diamond flush draw with open-ended straight draw) of Yingui Li in the big blind.

The river card was the 4s, and the queens held up for Adeniya to win the pot and double up in chips.
