Jaffe Doubles

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante
Jonathan Jaffe
Jonathan Jaffe

Limping into post-dinner break play with a short stack, 2014 WPT Montreal winner Jonathan Jaffe just found the much-needed double up.

He got in a raising war with a fellow on his right on a {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} board with around 7,000 already in the middle and called a three-bet shove for his tournament life with {6-Spades}{10-Spades}.

He might of thought he needed help, but didn't against his opponent's {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Jaffe doubled after the {2-Clubs} river showed up.

Liverpool, UK's James Fornby qualified for the 2015 partypoker WPT Canadian Spring Championship in a $1 partypoker satellite online.

And oh boy is he enjoying his first trip to Canada. He's been grinding it up all day and managed to make the nut flush against one opponent's straight to push up close to 100,000 and suddenly into contention.

Laurence Grondin
Laurence Grondin

Local rounder and former World Series of Poker final tablist Laurence Grondin has moved into the top spot on the leaderboard this level.

She three-bet aces from the big blind, flopped a set, rivered a boat and simply had to call when one over aggressive opponent pushed all in behind her.

He didn't show but claimed a cooler as Grondin climbed the ranks.

Owen Sound, Ontario's Dave Graham is making a run at the dinner break chip leader spot.

He's got the biggest stack in the room right now after making a set against top two to push over 100,000. He's also managed to make big slick hold in a big pot and is now pushing 150,000.

The Quick and Dirty Version

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Marc Katz
Marc Katz

Toronto's Marc Katz priced himself in with a three-bet on a {9-}{9-}{7-} flop with one spade and was almost forced to call with just {k-Spades}{8-Spades} when his opponent shoved.

He then went runner-runner to make a spade flush and crack his opponent's three nines. Not much later, someone tried to bluff him off top two and failed miserably.

Katz is now up among the leaders.
