Mike Leah was second to act before the flop and he opened to 2,500. He was called by Ryan Riess on the button and Jonathan Jaffe called from the big blind.

The flop was {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and action checked to Riess who led out with a bet of 4,000. Jaffe then check-raised to 10,500 and Leah quickly folded. Riess then re-raised, making it 30,000 to go. Jaffe called.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and Jaffe checked again. Riess put out a bet of 40,000 and Jaffe called after giving it some thought.

On the {5-Diamonds} river, Jaffe decided to bet out of flow, making it 52,000. Riess didn't waste too much time to call. Jaffe showed down his {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for rivered trips and Riess looked dumbfounded across the table as he sent over the chips.
