Chipleader Jared Jaffee

The final eight players battled for about two-and-a-half hours before bursting the Money Bubble when Jared Jaffee knocked out Alex Turyansky on a bad beat.

With nine players left, Jaffee himself was knocked down to just nine big blinds when his ace-king couldn’t catch up to Ping Liu’s pocket aces, but Jaffee slowly worked his way back, and when he won the last hand of the night, it gave him a big chip lead heading into Day 2.

Here are the official chip counts, with the players returning to their same seats tomorrow:

Seat 1.  Jared Jaffee  –  1,325,000  (66 bb)
Seat 2.  Jonathan Jaffe  –  730,000  (37 bb)
