Kyle Julius opened the cutoff to 7,000, and Stefan Schillhabel three-bet to 23,000 on the button. From the big blind, Jonathan Jaffe four-bet shoved for 107,500. Julius quickly folded, but Schillhabel slipped into the tank.

That amused Nick Petrangelo at the other end of the table.

“Schill-billy…” Petrangelo sing-songed. “Cookie jar…” He seemed to think Schillhabel had his hand caught somewhere it wasn’t supposed to be. “Cookies for Schilly,” Petrangelo laughed.

Schillhabel called to put Jaffe at risk, though, and he did have a real hand.

Schillhabel: 9h9d
Jaffe: AcAd

The board ran out safely for Jaffe, coming Kc5h2h2d8d to double him up.

Julius claimed to have folded pocket eights after the hand.

Jonathan Jaffe – 227,000
Stefan Schillhabel – 535,000
