Need a Hand?

Level 17

After Doug Booth's elimination, the final 24 players were redrawing for seats. Jason Lester was one of the players who had to move a few tables over, but he had his hands full with some other things and couldn't quite carry his three racks of chips. No worries though, one of the members of the TV production crew was kind enough to offer their assistance and carried Lester's chips over to his new table for him.

Redraw!
