Jesse Jones (pictured) is on pace to repeat his final table finish from November. Jones is in control of the leaderboard after sending a few players to the rail to bring the field down to three tables.
Jones punctuated his run by busting Matt Newcombe. Newcombe was at risk for his last 120,000 with 7♦7♠ against the Q♣Q♠ of Jones.
No help came for Newcombe and he departs in 28th place.
