Justin Lett raised to 4,000 from under the gun, and Matthew Thesing three-bet all in for 16,700. It folded back to Lett who made the call to put Thesing at risk.
Matthew Thesing: Q♠J♥ 
Justin Lett: 7♠7♥
Thesing would need win a flip for his tournament life, with Lett ahead with his pocket sevens. But after the board ran out Q♣K♣Q♥A♦K♠ Thesing improved to a full house, queens full of kings to get the double up.
