Jason Lester Cracks Kings and Busts a Player

A player raises from middle position, Jason Lester reraises to 1,500, the original player reraises to 5,000, and Lester calls. The flop comes {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}, Lester pushes, and his opponent calls all in for 5,800 with {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. Lester shows {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for a flush draw, an open-ended straight draw, and one overcard.

The turn card is the {K-Hearts}, completing Lester's straight, but giving his opponent outs to a full house. The river card is the {A-Diamonds}, and Lester wins the pot with an ace-high straight, increasing his stack to 26,100 and eliminating his opponent.
