On Day 8 , Jumalon won a single pot worth more than 50 million chips. Jumalon, who had a pair of jacks, bet big against Aussie Millions Main Event champion Malcom Trayner's pocket queens.

Jumalon didn't stop there. He kept plundering chips until he eliminated Trayner. With Trayner out, Jumalon's pile of 194 million chips leaves him in an enviable position ahead of his debut at the Final Table.
