Jaffee's Lucky Streak
One of the many father-son duos taking part in this event, Jared and Milton Jaffee are a duo on the rise. After only eight levels, the pair has managed to chip up to over six starting stacks, good for more than 100 big blinds. Not only that, but they've picked up some big hands along the way.
Well, rather he than they, as despite only playing half the hands today, Milton Jaffee has hit three absolute monsters. During the second level, he picked up Q♦9♦, and improved to a king-high straight flush on the river, after flopping an open-ended straight flush draw. "I never get straight flushes," said Milton, who can't remember the last time he hit one.
The very next level, he picked up pocket aces, and as if that wasn't enough, he rivered quads after flopping a set, getting paid on two streets. With the day coming to a close, as Level 9 of 11 was well underway, Milton picked up yet another premium, as he looked down at QxQx. He called off an open shove, before calling a reshove, and saw he was up against 10x10x and AxKx. the flop was safe, and although he didn't need to improve, two queens on the runout gave him quads for a second time today. "It seems as though every time we swap, our chip stack has grown!" added son, Jared.
