Brian Altman raised UTG+1 to 250,000, Jonathan Jaffe called from the button, and Steve Queen reraised from the small blind to 875,000. Altman folded, and Jaffe called.

The flop came Jc4d2h, Queen bet 550,000, and Jaffe called.

The turn card was the Ah, Queen checked, Jaffe bet 950,000, and Queen check-raised all in for 2,900,000. Jaffe used one Time Chip to tank for nearly a minute before he folded.

Somebody asked Queen to show his cards in this big spot, and he turned over AsAd as he took the pot — he had turned a set of aces.

Jaffe breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Appreciate it.”

Steve Queen  –  7,200,000  (58 bb)
Jonathan Jaffe  –  7,400,000  (59 bb)

With nine players remaining from a field of 1,165, the average chip stack is about 5,175,000 (41 big blinds).

Action will continue tonight until the end of this level, or until there are six players left, whichever comes first.
