Tim Baker

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jonathan Jaffe called from the small blind before the big blind raised to 4,000. Jaffe called and they headed to the flop.

On the 4♦3♥5♥ flop, Jafe led out for 3,000 and the big blind instantly called.

The 10♦ turn saw Jaffe bet 9,000 and the big blind player instantly called again.

The board-pairing 5♣ river saw Jaffe move all in for the remainder of the big blinds 20,000 chips. This time the big blind snap-folded and Jaffe won the pot without a showdown.
