Jaffee Flexes in Position

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 25,000, but faced push back from WSOP bracelet winner Jared Jaffee, who sat to the player’s immediate left.

Jaffee put in a three-bet of 72,000, which forced multiple folds back to the original raiser. Jaffee’s opponent leaned forward to look at Jaffee’s chip stack before making the call.

The dealer fanned 10A6 on the flop, which drew a check from the original raiser.

Jaffee took a few moments before reaching into his stack to count out chips. He then pushed out a 33,000 bet, which resulted in a fold.
