Ambata cripples Jeong on cooler

The first cold deck sighting has Japan's Akihiro Yamada raising from the HJ and getting called by local pro Jason Ambata (D), Jeong Seonghun of Korea (SB) and another Japanese player in Shintaro Ono (BB).
The flop is 7♥ 5♦ 5♠ as all four players check.
The turn is the K♣ . Jeong checks and this time Ono bets 1,200. All but Yamada call.
The river is the 6♣ and this time it's Jeong firing 5,500 as Ono calls. Suddenly, Ambata announces that he is all-in for 22,000. Jeong, who covers the Filipino, snap calls while Ono opts to fold.
Ambata brandishes 7♦ 7♠ for a full house on the flop while a disgruntled Jeong shows 5♣ 6♠ for trips on the flop.
That cooler cost the Korean a huge chunk of his stack and is reduced to about 30 BBs.
