There was heads-up side pot action on a completed board of {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} board between Stephen Graner from middle position and Jared Jaffee from the big blind with Jeffery Whittle already all in.

Jaffee lead out for 23,500 into a 60,000 pot and Graner raised to 130,000. Jaffee went into the tank for a few minutes and with a puzzled look on his face, mucked his hand.

Whittle tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} but it was no good as Graner rolled over {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for the nuts sending Whittle out the door just three spots from the money.
