Jaffee Holds and Doubles

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The player on the button bet 18,000 on an {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, and Jared Jaffee made it 48,000 from the small blind. The bettor thought for a while, then pushed all in, and Jaffee snap-called.

Jaffee: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The turn was the {10-Spades}, increasing the cards Jaffee needed to fade as his opponent had an open-ender now. The {9-Spades} river filled Jaffee up, though, and stacks were counted down. Jaffee had 207,500, and his opponent barely had him covered, so Jaffee got a full double.
