The final two players return from break to begin Level 22, with increased blinds of 10,000-20,000 and a 20,000 ante. Here are the official chip counts from the break:

Jesse Lott  –  2,930,000  (147 bb)
Adam Zeltser  –  850,000  (43 bb)

About 15 minutes into the level, Adam Zeltser raised, Jesse Lott reraised to 170,000, and Zeltser called.

The flop came 9s6c5d, Lott checked, Zeltser moved all in, and Lott snap-called with 5s5h.

Zeltser turned over 10d9d for a pair of nines, and he’d need to catch something runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn card was the Kc, the river card was the Kh, and Lott won the pot — and the trophy — with a full house, fives full of kings.

Congratulations to Jesse Lott!
