Jaffray and hat - very happy togetherJaffray Happy About Something
Alan Jaffray and his brand new 2,000,000 stack raised to 65,000, only for Panayote Vilandos to shove for 598,000. Jaffray thought about it, smiling vaguely all the while. He shook his head slightly, like he could see into the matrix or something -- and then folded with a quick, "Nice hand."

Preflop Action Fizzles to More Or Less Nothing
Dean Hamrick raised to 86,000 under the gun and found a caller in Glen McCaffrey in the big blind; all very exciting. However they proceeded to check down the

Blinds for Santos
Gualter Santos shoved for a frankly still fairly hefty 500,000 or so. David Lerman in one of the blinds announced, "I'm gonna wake up to aces," but clearly didn't as he passed. Andy Seth passed too and Santos picked up the pot, to shouts of, "VAMOOOOO!!!" from the little hardcore of Brazilian pros including Andre Akkari at the rail.
