Jared Jaffee Eliminated in 19th Place ($63,720)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jared Jaffee
Jared Jaffee

Jared Jaffee hit a rough patch in the tournament and lost a lot of his stack quickly. On this hand, he got all in for his tournament life against two players.

Andrey Zaichenko and Adrian Mateos were also all in. Mateos had the biggest stack.

Mateos had {a-Spades}{j-Spades}, Zaichenko had {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, and Jaffee had {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.

Jaffee had a shot when the flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, but the rest of the board finished, {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and that was it for Jaffee. Mateos was left with scraps and would be almost all in in the small blind next hand.
