With the board showing Jd7h4h5c on the turn, the player in the small blind got it all in with Jc9d (pair of jacks), and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the 10h6h — flush draw with an open-ended straight draw — of Jeff Lehouillier in the big blind.

The river card was the 8d, and Lehouillier won the pot with an eight-high straight to eliminate his opponent in 21st place.
