Christmas In July for Jaffee
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
On a heads-up turn board of 3♥9♦7♦2♦, Jared Jaffee and his short-stacked opponent got all the chips into the middle.
Opponent: 4♣5♠
Jared Jaffee: K♦8♦
While his opponent had an open-ended straight draw, he was already dead to Jaffee's made flush on the turn. The river came the meaningless K♥ and Jaffee was awarded the pot while his opponent headed to the exit.
"Tough spot for you there, huh Tuna?" Wise-cracking Jesse Lonis commented from across the table as Jaffee boosted his stack to 161,000.

Sevens Good for Murray
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On a multi-way flop of 2♠Q♥5♦, the action checked to William Murray in late position who bet 3,600 and was called only by Lucian Gruia in the small blind.
The players decided to check through the turn 10♥ and went straight to the river 9♣.
Gruia then led out for 3,300 but Murray showed no fear and made the call. Gruia then sighed and showed A♠7♠ for ace-high while Murray flipped over 7♥7♣ for a pair of sevens to take the pot.
