Mini Revenge: Uemura takes from Ysmael

Nearly one orbit after chip leader William Ysmael ended the tournament life of formr chip leader Toyoma Kakihara, the action gets folded around to the D of Japan's Tadayoshi Uemura who took the opportunity to try and steal the blinds and ante by going all-in for his remaining 167,000. Ysmael was in the BB and made the call.
Uemura turned over Q♣ 5♣ while Ysmael showed he had the preflop lead with A♠ 4♣ .
The runout altered matters when it came 5♠ K♥ T♥ 8♥ 6♣ to give Uemura a pair of fives and a double up off of the person who vanquished his countryman. Ysmael hardly felt the hit with his stack still above the 1.4 million mark.
