Jaered Daniel Besse has moved mostly under the radar during this entire tournament, but in two hands almost back to back he has added over 4M to his stack and moved into the chip lead.
In the first hand, Eric Schanck 3-bet to 550K only to have Besse 4-bet shove right behind… The other players got out of the way and eventually Schanck folded as well, and Besse picked up about a 900K pot.
Just a few minutes later, Besse raised to 250K from the hj. Action folded to Daune Fernandez in the bb who elected to raise to 725K. Besse insta-jammed and Fernandez called just as quickly.
