and Jensen made the call with {A-Hearts}

We're now down to four players with the recent elimination of Peter Jetten, via Tyron Krost.

Jetten opened the pot with a raise to 200,000 from the button and when the action reached Krost in the big blind, he three-bet to 600,000. Jetten then moved all in for about 2.3 million and Krost made the call:

Krost: {10-Hearts}

Jetten:

The board ran out {A-Spades}

and Krost's tens held up to win the pot, kicking him up to 6.5 million in chips.

After the hand, Sorel Mizzi looked over at Krost and said, "Well I guess there's a new sheriff in town."

Tryon Takes the Lead

[user38449]

For the first time today, Sorel Mizzi is not the chip leader. The title now belongs to Tyron Krost from Sydney after the following hand:

Mizzi opened the pot with a raise to what looked like 150,000 (we couldn't quite see or hear the exact amount). Krost made the call from the button and the two saw the flop come {J-Spades}

.

Mizzi then fired a 275,000 bet and when the decision fell to Krost, he raised another 575,000. Mizzi released his cards, and the chip lead, dropping to 3.9 million in chips.

Krost is now sitting with right around 4.3 million.
