Jared Jaffee
Jared Jaffee

Christopher Staats opened for 225,000 from late position and Jared Jaffee three-bet jammed for roughly 800,000 on the button. The blinds folded and action was back on Staats who called.

Jared Jaffee: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Christopher Staats: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Jaffee was racing for his tournament life but couldn't connect on the {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop.

The {q-Clubs} turn gave Jaffee the nut-flush draw as he could now win with any ace, king, or club but the river fell the {3-Spades} pairing the board and ending the WSOP bracelet winner's tournament run in 14th place.
