Jake's Jacks Down Jaffe

Level 11 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Jake Cody Advances to Round of 8
Jake Cody Advances to Round of 8

After a series of preflop raises escalated to the point that both players were all-in, Jonathan Jaffe turned over {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and Jake Cody revealed his {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. The two were racing as the flop came {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, offering no help to Jaffe. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Jaffe was down to his last card. A {6-Hearts} on the river was not good enough and Jake Cody is the first player to advance to the Round of 8, earning at least $138,852 for his work thus far.
