Jaffe Takes Out Thivyanathan on the River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Cards where already on their backs with Aaron Thivyanathan all in for his remaining 33,000 in the cutoff and up against Jonathan Jaffe in late position.
Aaron Thivyanathan: A♠K♣
Jonathan Jaffe: A♥10♠
Thivyanathan was ahead, and he held on the 2♠J♥5♣ flop.
The 5♦ fell on the turn and Thivyanathan was looking good for a double up.
Things changed for Thivyanathan when the 10♣ came on the river as it gave Jaffe two pair, and Thivyanathan was sent to the rail midway through the second day of the tournament.
