Thirty hands into the match, we have seen a fair amount of action from Kenny Tran and Jonathan Jaffe. Tran has won 17 of the first 30 hands. Jaffe came out swinging early and built a quick 2-to-1 chip lead, but Tran fired back after about a dozen hands and now maintains a 3-to-2 chip lead.

Tran seems to be riding Jaffe hard after taking an early blow to the chin in the very first pot. Tran seems calm and composed at the table, while Jaffe seems a bit nervous, biting his lips and glancing around. Look for Tran to keep pushing the action.
