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.

Jaekyung Sim of Team Sim opened up the action from middle position, with a raise to 2,500. Action folded to Jonathan Wolter of Team Wolter in the cutoff, who then ripped in his remaining stack of 9,100. Robert Foos of team Foos raised to 18,100, enough to put Sim all in. Sim made the fold.
Jonathan Wolter: A♠10♥ 
Robert Foos: J♣J♠
Wolter was far behind, and didn't receive any help on the 8♥4♦7♥ flop. He improved to a gutshot as the 6♣ peeled off on the turn. Left without much hope, Wolter called for a miracle nine, which came, as the dealer put out the 9♠ river, to keep team Wolter afloat.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 30th episode, Connor talks with 2024 WSOP Main Event champion Jonathan Tamayo about growing up in Humble, Texas, studying hotel management at Cornell University, graduating during the 2008 recession, running deep in the 2009 and 2015 Main Events, his friendship with fellow Main Event champion Joe McKeehen, winning the biggest-ever WSOP Main Event for $10 million, and his first purchase as world champion.
Tamayo also spoke about his infamous fold with pocket queens late in the 2024 Main Event, which he says cost him $120,000 in equity, and gave his thoughts on new rules implemented at the 2025 WSOP in the wake of "LaptopGate," as well as the Main Event structure and Phil Hellmuth's proposed boycott that he has since rescinded.
