Jonathan Jaffe Eliminated in 4th Place ($286,202)

Level 20 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jonathan Jaffe
Jonathan Jaffe

Jonathan Jaffe was dealt a huge blow after a triple barrel bluff did not work out. In the next hand, he shoved all in for his last 180,000 in the cutoff. Tyler Cornell re-raised to 480,000 in the small blind and Michael Ling four-bet to 1,475,000 from the big blind. Cornell quickly folded {a-}{2-} and the other two hands were tabled.

Jonathan Jaffe: {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Michael Liang: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Jaffe was looking at an uphill battle and the flop of {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} was of no help. The {9-Spades} on the turn changed nothing and the {6-Hearts} on the river spelled the end to Jaffe's tournament.
