King of the Poker!

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Four players were battling it out on a board of {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts} with around 5,000 in the middle. Faraz Jaka checked, Jared Jaffee fired out 2,025, Bryn Kenney called, and "King" Dan Smith raised to 7,500 on the button.

Jaka quickly mucked, Jaffe tank-folded, and Kenney sweated his cards one last time before tossing them into the muck.

Check-Raise Works For Jaffee

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Jared Jaffee
Jared Jaffee

Jared Jaffee opened the action to 1,100 and was re-raised to 2,700 by an opponent in late position. Jaffee made the call and then checked when the flop came {J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

His opponent bet 2,500 and Jaffee raised it up to 6,000. His opponent folded with just some slight hesitation. Jaffee, who is sitting with 43,500 in chips now, finished 4th at the World Poker Tour Borgata Winter Poker Open for $258,590 which was his best ever live tournament score. He could top that finish with a deep run here.

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Abe Mosseri - Eliminated
Abe Mosseri - Eliminated

Abe Mosseri was all in and at risk preflop for around 11,000 or holding {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and Joe Kuether had him at risk with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Both players flopped a pair when the dealer spread {7-Spades}{a-Spades}{6-Spades}, and neither player held a spade. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, changing nothing, and Mosseri was eliminated when the {q-Clubs} completed the board.

Kuether is up to 81,000 chips.

Bryn and Bear It

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The flop fell {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Jared Jaffee led into fellow pro Bryn Kenney with a 2,400 wager.

Kenney responded with a raise to 7,100 and the pressure forced Jaffee to release, sending the small pot to his neighbor in the next seat to the left.

Only the Good Die Young

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

After seeing the flop fall {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} New Jersey-based grinder Orson Young led out for 11,000, only to see his opponent raise it up to 23,000.

Young thought things through for about thirty seconds, before announcing himself all in for 48,000 effective. His opponent winced at the sight of the bright red "All-In" button hitting the felt, and he quickly laid down to send a sizable pot over to Young.

Serock Six-Bet Shoves

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Dan Perper started things off with a raise to 1,025 in middle position. Chris Moorman, winner of the Season XII WPT L.A. Poker Classic, three-bet to 2,500 in the cutoff, and Joe Serock, the Season X Player of the Year, cold four-bet to 6,100 on the button.

The action folded to Perper, who folded as well, and Moorman tanked for a bit before five-betting to 13,500. Serock six-bet shoved, and there was a beat before Moorman folded.
