Easy Game For Jaffee

Jeremy Geist

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

There was a limp under the gun. A player then raised to 1,200 in early position. Middle position called, the button called, Jared Jaffee in the small blind called, and the limper called.

The players were off to a flop five ways. The 3♣6♦9♣ hit the board and without thinking for too long Jaffee led out for 3,000 into the field. To the surprise of the table every single player folded.

A player at the table said "You go ahead and take that one" to which Jaffee replied "Not bad when you flop top set every hand"

We may never know if he was joking or not but he scooped a good pot with no resistance.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Three players were in the pot with a board already full dealt, and reading 7♥8♠2♦4♠7♠. The big blind checked to Jane Hitchcock in the cutoff, who bet 18,000 into a pot of around 30,000.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player raised to 1,200 in middle position and Phillip Lee called one seat over. Anthony Scarborough three-bet to 4,300 on the button and both players stuck around with a call.

The flop was 7♠6♥3♥ and the first player quickly led out with a bet of 6,500. Lee raised to 21,500, sending Scarborough deep in the tank. The preflop three-bettor took nearly three minutes before electing on a fold.

The other player in the hand did the same, taking several minutes before folding Q♣Q♥ face up. Scarborough indicated he had the queens beat, while Lee only flashed the 4♣ before collecting the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Dane Horton was in the hijack position and raised to 1,200 and the cutoff three-bet to 4,200. Horton fired back with a four-bet of 26,000 and the cutoff called and we were finally off to the flop.

The flop and turn were both checked through with J♠10♦7♥A♣.

On the river 3♥ Horton placed a bet of 10,000 and the cutoff mulled it over and called. Horton turned over A♦Q♦ for top pair and the cutoff mucked.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Joe McKeehen opened to 1,200 from early position and was called by a player in middle position and another in the small blind.

Action checked through on the 6♣3♦A♦ flop and the small blind checked to McKeehen again on the 2♦ turn. McKeehen bet 1,500 and only the play in middle position called.

Both players checked down when the 5♠ completed the board and McKeehen tabled A♥9♥ for a pair of aces. His opponent couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to McKeehen.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a heads-up flop of 5♦6♦A♥, Michael Lancaster bet out 2,500 and was check-called by Henrik Brockmann to see the turn 9♠.

Brockmann checked again and Lancaster fired for 12,000 and again Brockmann made the call.

On the river Q♠, Brockmann checked a third time and Lancaster decided to check back.

"Ace," Brockmann announced as he flipped over A♦10♣ for top pair.

Lancaster grunted and groaned and scoffed as he held a brief hand funeral before finally throwing it into the muck and the pot was awarded to Brockmann.

Dominic Clementson

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player in early position raised to 1,200 and was reraised from middle position, to 3,000. Action folded to Corentin Ropert in the big blind, who four-bet to 9,000.

The original raiser moved out of the way but middle position called. The flop fell 4♣A♦2♣ and was checked by both players.

On a turn which came the K♦ Ropert bet a further 10,000 and got a swift fold.
