Jonathan Jaffe held a two-to-one chip lead over [Removed:321] Arani at the start of the hand. After just a couple of preflop raises, the two players got all of the chips in the middle with Arani at risk for 102,000.

[Removed:321] Arani: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Jonathan Jaffe: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The flop of {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} was no help to Arani who was looking to spike one of his two outs. The {a-Hearts} on the turn gave Jaffe a set of aces and Arani was drawing dead to the {7-Hearts} on the river.

A completed board of {q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} was spread across the felt and Johan Guilbert was sitting with a bet of 35,000 in front of him. Michael Addamo was in the tank for a couple of minutes before shoving all in.

Guilbert quickly checked his cards and then called off his stack of 70,300. Addamo turned over {5-}{2-} for a six-high straight but Guilbert held {7-Spades}{5-Hearts} for the seven-high straight and doubled up.
