Suu ankou (四暗刻) is one of the standard yakuman hands. This hand consists of four concealed triplets and a pair, i.e. none of the triplets must have been claimed from other players' discards. If the hand is on a shanpon wait, the winning tile must be a tsumo and not as a discard of another player. A win by discard may render the fourth triplet as an "open" triplet. Thus, the condition for the yakuman would not be met.

Then there is suu ankou tanki (四暗刻単騎), which features the hand with a tanki wait, the winning tile may come from another player's discard. In this case, all four triples are present in the hand. This hand is closed only.
