Greg Merson (Day 8) has over 100 million chips

Greg Merson started the hand with the button, and opened to 1.2 million. Jake Balsiger three-bet to 3.5 million from the big blind, and Merson called.

The dealer fanned {3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Balsiger led out for 3 million, and Merson raised to 7 million. Balsiger tank-folded, and Merson is now over 100 million chips - which is more than half of the chips in play.
