Jaffe Gets to Work
It didn’t take long for Jonathan Jaffe to engage in action.
Jaffe was a late arrival to his table. He exchanged pleasantries with his table-mates as he removed his backpack and placed his chips. He sat down in middle position of the hand. peeked down at his cards, and raised 6,000.
The action folded to two-time WSOP bracelet winner Espen Jorstad, who was in the big blind. Jorstad responded by reraising to 36,000. Jaffe called.
The dealer fanned 4♦A♦Q♦ on the board and Jorstad bet 15,000. Jaffe took a few moments to ponder the bet, then called.
The turn saw 10♠, which both players checked. The 6♦ showed up on the river, making a four-flushed board and both players checked.
Jorstad tabled Q♥J♥, while Jaffe showed A♣2♣ for a pair of aces and the win.
