Chris Stanton

On the last hand before the break, Chris Stanton was in the big blind and all in for 247,000 against Ryan Luker and in bad shape.

Stanton: AcKh
Luker: KsKd

Stanton needed a lot of help and found it right on the AsAdKc flop. Both players flopped an unlikely full house but Stanton was best with aces full of kings. Luker was drawing dead and Stanton doubled up.

Chris Stanton – 515,000 (34 bb)
Ryan Luker – 260,000 (17 bb)

After the hand, tournament staff sent the field on break as they colored off the 1K chips and introduced the 100K variant. Yazdi Mehta continued to lead with 1,840,000 while the others were trying to reach a million.
