Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 650,000 in the big blind and Mario Mosboeck called in middle position.

The flop came Q♣6♣2♥ and Jaffe led out for 400,000. Mosboeck then raised to 1,050,000 and Jaffe called.

The turn was the 8♥ and Mosboeck bet 2,060,000. Jaffe took about a minute before calling, turning over A♠2♦ without realizing Mosboeck still had a chip behind. Mosboeck then tossed in his last chip and showed K♥Q♥.

Mosboeck was ahead with top pair and poised for a double up going to the river, but Jaffe spiked trips with the 2♣ to send Mosboeck to the rail.

After the hand, tablemate Alex Theologis wondered what was the purpose of leaving a chip behind on the turn.

"In case the other guy turns his cards over and he can't beat it, he gets to keep the chip. Say he was bluffing and the other guy shows a set, he keeps the chip," Daniel Negreanu answered.
