Scotty Nguyen raises under the gun to 67,000, Nikolay Evdakov calls from the button, and Jason Lester moves all in from the big blind for about 400,000. Nguyen calls, and Evdakov folds. 

Lester shows [10c10h], and he’ll need it to hold to stay alive against Nguyen’s [AcKh]. 

The board comes [Ks7d2d7c6d], and Scotty Nguyen pairs his king on the flop to win the pot and eliminate Jason Lester in 12th place.

Scotty Nguyen  –  1,410,000
