Justin Young

Michael Mizrachi opened to 6,000 from the hijack, Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 17,000 from the cutoff and Justin Young four-bet sheoved to 46,000. Michael Mizrachi thought about coming along, using one of his time bank chips, before he released his hand.

Jaffe quickly called to put the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship winner at risk.

Jaffe: QhJh
Young: AhKh

Jaffe had two live cards but his hearts were dead. Young hit the Ac9h8c flop and but Jaffe turned a straight when the Th came to leave Young with six stay alive outs. Any heart that wasn’t the 8h was good and the 7h river was good for a double.

Before the board was removed, Jaffe double checked with the dealer to make sure of his cards. He laughed after a thinking he had a straight flush for a second.

Justin Young – 105,500 (35 bb)
Jonathan Jaffe – 87,000 (29 bb)
