Jaffee Picks Up Aces to Leave Swift on Fumes
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jon Swift raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Jared Jaffee three-bet to 120,000 on the button. Swift then moved all in and Jaffee snap-called for 480,000.
Jared Jaffee: A♥A♦ 
Jon Swift: 5♦5♣
Jaffee had woken up with aces and was a big favorite to double up as the board ran out 7♦3♥8♠4♠K♣ to secure him the pot.
Swift was left with just 75,000 and was all in a few hands later from the small blind and up against Curt Kohlberg and Joel Micka.
The flop came 4♣8♦K♠ and Micka bet 55,000 from the button to chase Kohlberg in the big blind.
Jon Swift: J♣6♠
Joel Micka: A♣A♥
Swift was again up against aces and the board ran out 2♠3♦ to send him to the rail.
