Joseph McCaig opened to 65,500 =and was called by Jesse Jones.
The flop came out 6♣9♥5♥ and both players decided to check to see the turn Q♥.
Jones then led out for 110,000 and McCaig made the call to see the 7♠ appear on the river.
After some thought, Jones set out a stack of 500,000, covering McCaig who was sitting at around 260,000.
McCaig thought about it for a second but then decided to slide his cards into the muck to award the pot to Jones.
Jones is now sitting comfortably at 1,675,000 in chips, one of the largest in the tournament.
