Giorgio Medici Eliminated

Jonathan Jaffe limped on the button, Giorgio Medici raised to 800, Jaffe reraised to 4,000 and Medici called all in.

Medici {K-?} {Q-?}

Jaffe {A-?} {8-?}

The board ran out {A-?} {Q-?} {8-?} {9-?} {9-?} and Jaffe won the pot with two pair--aces and nines--defeating Medici and punching his ticket to round 2.
