Jaeli “Jay” Moron’s table was just broken, and it took him several minutes to rack up his 970,000 chips and make the move to his new seat. Once he arrived, he wasted no time resuming his chip-accummulating ways.

In one of the first hands there, a player in middle position moved all in for about 45,000, and Moron called from the big blind to put him at risk.

Moron: 3s3c
Opponent: KcQd

The board ran out 9d5d2c7sTh, and Moron won the pot with his pair of threes. That knockout moved him just across the million-chip mark, the first player in this field to reach that milestone.

Jay Moron – 1,025,000 (103 bb)
