All three players took one card on the first draw after which Tang and Rodrigues checked.

The second draw saw the same drawing pattern repeated with Tang checking once again before folding after Rodrigues bet.

On the final draw, Li and Rodrigues each took one card. Rodrigues turned over 4♥3♣A♦, significantly ahead of the 6♦2♥A♣ of Li. After peeling his fourth card, Rodrigues was left with the three card hand, needing Li not to pick up a club to score the pot and elimination. Fortunately for Li, his last card was the 5♣, handing him a critical triple up with two other short stacks at the table.
