WPT Champion Jonathan Jaffe raised under the gun to 4,500, Chris Limo called from middle position, and the player in the cutoff moved all in for 45,000.

The player in the small blind called, and Jaffe moved all in over the top for 216,000. Limo quickly folded, and the small blind asked for an exact count and thought for a while before he folded by tossing his cards across the table, where they flipped over to reveal AhJh.

The cutoff turned over 8h8c, but he needed to improve to stay alive against Jaffe’s 10h10d.

The board came As10c4s6dQh, and Jaffe flopped a set of tens to win the pot and eliminate the small blind from the tournament.

Jonathan Jaffe  –  314,500  (157 bb)
