Perry Shiao completed the small blind to 75,000, and Jonathan Jaffe checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came Kc10c5d, Shiao checked, Jaffe bet 75,000, and Shiao called.

The turn card was the 4h, Shiao checked, Jaffe bet 325,000, and Shiao check-raised all in for about 1,000,000.

Jaffe snap-called with 10h5c for two pair, tens and fives, and Shiao turned over Kd8c for a pair of kings. Shiao needed to improve to stay alive.

The river card was the Ac, and the two pair held up for Jaffe to win the pot and eliminate Shiao in 15th place.

Jonathan Jaffe  –  7,550,000  (101 bb)
