Jaffray Back in Business

Alan Jaffray
Alan Jaffray
Alan Jaffray, once the chip leader, let his stack slip to 22,000 and was dangerously close to being sent to the rail, but a double up has put him back on track.

With 12,000 in the pot on the flop, he pushed all in for his last 16,750 on a {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {2-Clubs} board and was called.

His opponent showed {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} while he tabled {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} . The {8-Diamonds} on the turn meant Alan was one card away from being eliminated, but Jaffray made his straight on the river when the {J-Clubs} fell.

He now sits at 45,500.
