Mark Thomas Wells has just eliminated Jonathan Brassard to take his already-impressive stack up to over 4.1M in chips.

Everyone else got out of the way and action returned to Jonathan who took some time before putting out a 4bet to 870K. Wells didn’t need to think for long: “All In”.
Jonathan made the call and the hands were tabled.
