Hand #32 - Jonathan Jaffe

Jonathan Jaffe
Jonathan Jaffe
Jonathan Jaffe has the button and makes it 48,000 to go. Kenny Tran then opts for a re-raise, making it a total of 143,000. Jaffe takes another look at his cards and then glances over at Tran before ultimately making the call.

The flop comes {4-Clubs} {K-Spades} {10-Spades} and Tran continues to dictate the action, leading out with a 175,000 bet; Jaffe makes a quick call.

The turn brings the {Q-Spades} prompting Tran to put on the brakes, sending the action over to Jaffe, who fires a 175,000 bullet. The bet sends Tran into the tank and he counts down his stack before eventually making the call.

5th street is the {10-Hearts} and Tran peeks at his hole cards one more time before passing the action over to Jaffe who checks behind.

At the showdown, Tran shows {A-?} {Q-?} for queens and tens, but Jaffe one-ups him, tabling {K-?} {J-?} for kings and tens, earning him the pot and the chip lead. He now has 1,557,000 chips, to Tran's 1,003,000.
