Having already doubled his stack early on Day Three, Johan Jakobsson was far from finished before the first break as he took down another huge pot to steal the chip lead.
With around 2.4m in front of him and only two tables remaining, the online pro (pictured) is in a strong position to at very least achieve his goal of reaching the final table.
The decisive hand came when the villain of our latest twist raised pre-flop to just over three-times the big blind, making it 66,000 to go, and Johan made the call holding 8♣9♣ in position.
The flop brought 5♥-6♥-8♠ and when his opponent overbet the pot, the fearless Jakobsson shoved his huge stack into the centre.
The call followed and though our hero found himself behind to K♣K♥, the river duly delivered a 7♣ and another big win.
