Jeremy Becker opened to 16,000 from under the gun and called when Andrew Lichtenberger jammed for 56,000 from the hijack.

On the next deal, Jamie Dwan shoved for 68,000 from the cutoff and Jesse Lonis called from the small blind.

Jamie Dwan: J♠10♥All in
Jesse Lonis: A♣5♣

The K♥10♠3♥ flop left Lonis with three immediate outs. Nonetheless, Lonis got there the hard way as the 4♦ turn and 2♠ river gave him the wheel to lock up the bust out.
