Kruk Takes a Commanding Lead
Level 24
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Christopher Kruk raised to 125,000 on the button and Jonathan Jaffe called. The flop came 
and Jaffe check-called a bet of 200,000 from Kruk.
The 
peeled off on the turn and Jaffe led out for 450,000. Kruk made the call and the 
completed the board. Jaffe announced a bet of 1.9 million and Kruk was thrown back in his seat. With only 30 seconds to act, he needed to make a big decision for a monstrous pot. Kruk tossed in a single chip and Jaffe rapped the table. He turned over 
for a missed flush draw and Kruk held 
for top pair.
Jaffe was left with just under 500,000 and Kruk has taken a commanding chip lead.
