Action was on the river as the board read {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. Magnus Carlsen had moved all in for his small remaining amount of 4,300 into a pot of around 13,000. Armin Rezaei considered it for a bit before calling.

Carlsen tabled the goods with the {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}, while Rezaei had the {q-Clubs}{j-} and Carlsen collected the double to stay alive and avoid checkmate.
