No more checking for Elezra. He moved all in. Looking fairly dejected, Qiang stared at the bet with arm stretched out on the felt and his chin resting on it. He asked for a count after a minute. It was $58, 700, which Phua translated for Qiang, who doesn't understand much English. Once he understood the amount, he decided to call. Phua folded, and it was time for showdown.

Elezra: for aces with a nine kicker
Qiang: for aces with a six kicker and a flush draw

The river was safe for Elezra, who happily pulled in the chips.
