Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jonathan Jaffe opened to 3,500 from early position and was called by Melanie Pittard from the cutoff and the big blind defended as well.

The flop came out 3♣K♥J♣ and action checked to Pittard who then gave a little shrug and moved all in for 26,000.

This prompted a quick fold from the big blind but Jaffe went into the tank for a bit.

After about 15, seconds, he decided to make the call to put her at risk.

Melanie Pittard: Q♣J♦
Jonathan Jaffe: Q♠J♥

When they realized they had the same hand they both nodded and shrugged and pulled their bets back as the board ran out 10♦K♦ for them to chop the pot.
