After flying under the radar for most of the day Jon Turner is most definitely making his presence known now.

A player in early position raised to 1,500 and both Turner in the cutoff and the big blind called. The flop came {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, the big blind checked, the preflop raiser bet 2,500 and Turner called. The big blind folded and the turn brought the {5-Clubs}. The other player bet 4,500 and Turner again opted to call. The river was the {q-Spades} and both players checked.

The other player instantly mucked his hand before Turner revealed his {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a pair of queens.

After the hand Turner's stack was up over 110,000 and we believe he is the first player to amass over 100,000 chips.
