Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Steven Jones opened to 800 from under the gun before Jared Jaffee tossed in a three-bet to 2,100 in middle position. Action folded around to Barry Woods in the big blind, who four-bet to 6,900.

Jones quickly folded while Jaffee asked for a look at the rest of Woods' stack before making the call. The 2♣K♣9♦ flop was followed by a bet of 3,000 from Woods.

"Just call," said Jaffee and the dealer collected his 3,000 chips. Woods then moved all in on the 9♠ turn, good enough to get back over starting stack as Jaffee folded.
