Chip and a Chair for Lonis

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Brandon Wilson was all in for around 1,300,000 in the hijack against Jesse Lonis in the small blind.

Brandon Wilson: 99 All in
Jesse Lonis: A2

Wilson survived the flip as the board ran out Q462K to earn him a double as Lonis was left with just 5,000, which he managed to spin up to 30,000 in the next hand against Justin Zaki.
