After a preflop betting war, Patrick Megna and Lance Nielsen got all the chips in the middle, with Megna at risk.
Patrick Megna: [AdKh]
Lance Nielsen: [JcJd]
Nielsen was ahead going into this bout, but the flop was brutal as the king came right away on the [Kd8c7h] flop.
"F**k! Ughh nice hand...come on two-outer!" Nielsen prayed to the poker gods as the turn came the [2s].
And just as if they heard his prayers, the poker gods delivered by providing the miracle [Js] on the river to save him, busting Megna in the process.
The 12 surviving players in the Main Event are now on a much-needed 10-minute break and will return to action soon.
