Jaffe Wins Monster Pot To Hit 400,000

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Jonathan Jaffe won a monster pot at the end of Level 11 to vault to the chip lead.

As told to us by Jaffe, Carol Ventura raised to 3,800 from the cutoff and Jaffe popped it to 11,600 from the small blind. Ventura called and the flop came down {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Jaffe bet 11,000 and was called, leading to the {2-Diamonds} turn card. Jaffe settled on 17,000, but was faced with a raise to 37,000 by Ventura. After a few moments Jaffe called and when the {5-Diamonds} hit the river, he checked. Ventura sat motionless for about two minutes before she announced all in.

Jaffe snap-called with the nuts, {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Since Ventura had the last aggressive act, she was forced to show her {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. The dealer broke down the chips and Jaffe's all-in call was for 144,400.

The end result?

Jaffe: Up to about 411,000
Ventura: Down to about 4,000
