Jon just won a huge pot to jump out to 18.5 million and take the chip lead. He has been playing poker as a pro for two years now. Prior to that, he worked for IT (Information Technology), a computer sevice in England in immigration.
Jon's wife Kila just flew across the pond today to cheer her husband on and witnessed his nut flush scooping that giant pot that catapulted him into the chip lead. She said she hasn't been able to sleep for the past 24 hours with all the excitement.

Jon and Kila have been married for a year now and are going through the experience of a lifetime this week. Good luck, Jon!
