The turn landed the {7-Spades}

Our First Hundred-Thousandaire

We can't leave Jan Van Dyk's table for even three minutes. In the last five minutes, his stack has magically grown from 70,000 to about 108,000 after taking out two different players. Van Dyk is feeling so confident about the state of his tournament right now that he is taking a mid-level cigarette break with some friends over at a roulette pit.
