Gregory Sessler opened from under the gun before action folded to Paul Lenkeit in the small blind, who three-bet. Dennis Weiss then put in a four-bet from the big blind, prompting Sessler to fold while Lenkeit made the call.
With only 20,000 chips behind, Lenkeit committed the rest of his stack on the 5♥K♠Q♥ flop and Weiss quickly called.
Paul Lenkeit: K♦Q♦
Dennis Weiss: A♥9♦
Lenkeit was well ahead with two pair, kings and queens, while Weiss held ace-high. The J♠ turn gave Weiss additional outs, but the Q♣ river improved Lenkeit to a full house and locked up the pot.
Lenkeit secured the double-up and earned himself another shot at making a deep run in the tournament.
