Jaffe Bets Big on the Turn

Jonathan Jaffe won the first significant pot in match #1 when he turned a seven-high straight.

Jaffe held {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and bet 11,000 into an 8,000 pot when he made his straight on the {a-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts} board. McDonald had a pair with a draw, holding {j-Spades}{4-Spades} and called. McDonald whiffed on the river and checked to Jaffe who bet 44,500 into a pot of a little more than 30,000. McDonald folded.
