Jaffee Drills River to Secure Pot
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
WSOP bracelet winner Jared Jaffee could find some momentum after taking down a sizable pot.
Jaffee, who began Day 3 with 730,000, was involved in a postflop hand against Adam Kharman and the board showed 9♠Q♥J♦9♥. The pot already had a little more than 600,000 and it grew when Jaffee, who out of position, check-called Kharman’s 180,000 bet.
The situation escalated on the river, where Q♠ appeared.
Jaffee took his time while Kharman shot sideway glances his way, and then Jaffee reached down with both hands to push out a massive 635,000 bet, which Kharman snap called.
Jaffee tabled Q♦8♦ for queens full, and Kharman immediately mucked his hand.

Lady Luck Shines on Nikzad Once Again
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michael Bishop bet from under the gun for 80,000. Action folded to Ashton Nikzad who announced all in for 930,000. Bishop had no hesitation to make the call for 855,000
Michael Bishop: A♣K♦
Ashton Nikzad: Q♠10♠
Nikzad was behind but clapped his hands in delight after seeing a queen in the window on the board of Q♥2♠2♦4♣2♣ to give them a full house and to eliminate Bishop in the process.
Earlier in the day Nikzad tripled-up after cracking aces with queen-nine. The ladies are working for Nikzad today.

Jaffee Caught in the Blender
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
On a multi-way flop of 7♦9♦3♥, action checked to Jared Jaffee who led out for 155,000 and was only called by Koveh Waysei to his left.
The two then went heads-up to the turn 10♦ which saw another continuation from Jaffee for 365,000, but then Waysei moved all in for over 2,000,000, covering Jaffee.
Jaffee then went into the tank for a good while, checking and re-checking his cards, throwing his hands up, and counting his chips over and over.
Eventually, he decided to throw it away, and based on the table talk that followed, Jaffee admitted to having an over pair while Waysie held nine-ten for two pair.

Moore’s Pocket Pair Holds Up
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Charles Moore was in middle position and involved in a postflop hand against Richard Peterson, who was on the button.
Moore, however, dug in throughout the hand in the face of aggression on a board showing 3♥5♥3♠. The player in the big blind was also in the hand, and he and Moore checked to Peterson, who bet 150,000, which both players called.
The 2♦ appeared on the turn, and the action once again checked to Peterson, who fired 275,000. The big blind folded, but Moore called.
The dealer placed Q♣ on the river, leading to Moore and Peterson checking.
Peterson tabled 5♠4♠, but saw his hand wasn’t good when Moore showed 9♣9♠ for the wining hand.
