Jason Lester Eliminated in 12th Place ($56,439)

Apr 22, 2010

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
Jason Lester  –  Out in 12th Place  ($56,439)

Scotty Nguyen is one of four players still alive and trying to catch Faraz Jaka in the WPT Player of the Year race. Nguyen will need to win this tournament in order to also win WPT Player of the Year.
