Wolf Triples But Job Takes the Chip Lead

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jonathan Job
Jonathan Job

We're not sure of all the details, but we do know that Jonathan Job was the beneficiary of a monster three-way hand despite not winning the main pot. You see, a short-stacked Mike Wolf was all in with {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts} while Job, who held {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}, and an unknown player, who had {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, created a massive side pot of around 100K.

The board ran out with three hearts to give Wolf the triple, but it didn't bother Job who was more than happy to lose the small pot and rake in the big. With that, he is the clear Day 1b chip leader with 137K and less than 30 minutes to go.
