Jaffe Flops a Set to Double Through Sternheimer
Level 17
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jonathan Jaffe raised to 175,000 from under the gun and Philip Sternheimer three-bet shoved for over 3,000,000 from the small blind. Once the big blind folded, Jaffe called for his stack of 2,485,000.
Jonathan Jaffe: J♣J♥ 
Philip Sternheimer: A♦K♣
Both caught a piece of the J♦A♥7♣ flop but it was Jaffe's set of jacks that was way in the lead. The 6♠ turn meant Sternheimer was drawing dead, and the inconsequential 4♥ filled out the board.
