Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Jonathan Jaffe
Jonathan Jaffe

2014 WPT Montreal champ Jonathan Jaffe is moving up the ladder slowly but surely.

He's won a number of pots without showdown and now has twice the starting stack.

He limp four-bet one time to chip up and has managed to earn a full double up with Jedi mind tricks instead of significant confrontations.

Sexton Stays Patient

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Mike Sexton
Mike Sexton

partypoker Team Pro Mike Sexton has fallen below the starting stack, but hasn't lost his patience one bit.

He joined the small blind in defending against a 700-chip open from the player under the gun. Then joined him again in checking the {10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop. The original aggressor led for 1,500 and Sexton was the only caller, taking them heads up to the {6-Diamonds} turn.

Sexton checked, and when his heads-up foe threw 3,400 on the felt, he let it go.

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.
