In the last hand of Level 12, a player raised to 4,300 from early position and got three callers, including A.J. Jejelowo sitting in middle position. The flop came {2-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and when it checked to the raiser he continued for 7,000, and only Jejelowo stuck around.

The turn brought the {9-Spades}. This time Jejelowo's opponent bet 18,000, and Jejelowo responded with a raise to 48,000 which his opponent called.

The river was the {K-Clubs}. Jejelowo's opponent checked, and Jejelowo fired a bet of 85,000 which his opponent called. Jejelowo rolled over {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the flopped wheel, and his opponent mucked.

That catapults Jejelowo over 775,000, putting some distance between himself and the rest of the field to start the next level.
