Action folded to Brandon Mueller in middle position who raised all in for 161,000, and was called by Kenny Huynh in middle position to put Mueller at risk.

Brandon Mueller: J♦8♦ All in
Kenny Huynh: A♦A♣

Mueller ran right into the aces of Huynh and would need a lot of help to stay in the tournament. But after the K♦8♥K♠ flop, Mueller did have outs with another eight. Mueller asked for the eight on 7♠ turn, and said "thank you" after the 8♠ hit the river, to give Mueller a full house, eights full of kings to double up and crack the aces of Huynh.
