Baker Takes Huge Dive

We don't know how the action went preflop, but with a board reading {Q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs} Will Jaffe bet out 33,000. David Baker then raised it to 83,000. Jaffe made the call and both players were allowed to see the river.

The {7-Diamonds} on the river brought a check from Jaffe, and a bet of 156,000 from Baker. Jaffe then raised and mandated 365,000 as the bet. Baker made the call and was in for some bad news.

Jaffe had {J-}{J-} for a set of jacks, while Baker held a weaker {J-}{Q-} for two pair. This hand allows for Jaffe to become quite the chip leader with a substantial amount more than anyone else left in the field.
