Kyle Lazzaro raised from the hijack to 75,000, Cody Wells moved all in from the big blind for 540,000, and Lazzaro snap-called with QsQh.

Wells turned over Ad5d, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came AhJd10h3dAc, and Wells paired his ace on the flop and rivered trips to win the pot and double up in chips.

Cody Wells  –  1,125,000  (38 bb)
Kyle Lazzaro  –  540,000  (18 bb)

Two hands earlier, Wells had just 165,000, but his triple-up and his double-up have him back in contention with an above-average chip stack.

With 86 players remaining from a field of 3,989, the average chip stack is around 930,000 (31 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $2,775 each.
