The Silent Assassin

Jon Turner

We haven't mentioned a lot of Jon Turner during this tournament, which is rare for someone holding the chip lead. However Turner has gone about his business like a silent assassin, slowly claiming small pots and taking out his victims one by one.

In a recent had of Stud-8, Turner took down the pot after firing bets on fifth and sixth streets. Dutch Boyd released on fifth street, while Phil Ivey surrendered on sixth.

Turner: (X-X) {7-Hearts}
