The flop is dealt {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

and Jonas bets 20,000, which is called by Jason.

The turn is the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

and Jonas bets 40,000, which is again called by Jason.

The river is the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

and Jonas bets 65,000. Jason moves all in. If he is called then one of them will become the first player over a million and chip leader by a long way. Jonas opts to fold and Jason shows him the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

for his troubles.

After this hand Jason Mercier has the chip lead with 660,000 and Jonas Klausen drops back to 340,000.
