On blinds of 1,000/2,000/2,000, Matthew Huynh opened to 4,500 from UTG+1. Nicholas King called in the hijack and James Lester moved all-in for 29,500 from the cutoff.

Action folded back around to Huynh and he shrugged as he flat-called for an additional 25,000. King folded and players tabled their cards.

Lester: K♠J♣ (all-in)  
Huynh: K♦Q♦  
Board: A♣T♥4♠6♣Q♠

Lester was dominated but flopped a gutshot to broadway, which he drilled on the river to stay alive.

22 players remain. 12 players will finish in the money with 8 advancing to Sunday's 2:30 PM Day Two Restart.

Lester: 69,500
