Jonathan Jaffe has the button and makes it 36,000 to go; Kenny Tran makes the call.

The flop comes {3-Diamonds}

and Tran passes the first action to Jaffe who leads out with a bet of 52,000; Tran makes the call.

The turn brings the {8-Spades}

and again, Tran passes the action to Jaffe who fires another bullet - this time for 92,000. Tran quickly reaches for chips and kicks it up to 242,000. Jaffe tanks for a minute and takes another look at his cards before eventually making the call.

With the win, Tran assumes the chip lead for the first time in the match.
