Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Level Up/Jawdropper

Level 29 (Blinds 50,000/100,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 10
Chip Average: 5,500,000

Level 29 started just moments ago, with players now posting blinds of 50,000/100,000/10,000.  On the last hand before break, Dennis Thurman doubled up in dramatic fashion.  Thurman and Michael Jelaso got to the turn in a raised pot, and on a board of A♠ 7 3♣ 5, the chips got in with Thurman at risk:

Thurman: 7♣ 5♣       Jelaso: A 7

River: 5♠

Jelaso would have Dennis drawing to two outs, holding a better two pair (and sharing the sevens).  Even the rail would have a reaction when the five hit the river, with Dennis able to sit back down with 5,200,000.  After absorbing the loss, Jelaso dips down to 10,800,000.
