"Why would you shove?" he questioned after a minute or two of thought. "It makes no sense."
Another minute or two passed, and then Gruissem called with the

Jonathan Jaffe started the day with a big chip lead but all his chips melted as snow in the Bahamian sun today. On Jaffe's final hand, after having lost a lot of chips already, it was Shannon Shorr who raised preflop. Paul Kuzmich called from the button and Jaffe moved all in from the big blind for about 100,000 chips.
Shorr folded his cards and Kuzmich called with a pair that held up. Jaffe was knocked out and Kuzmich remains among the bigger stacks in the room.
