Event 25 - Tran In The Second 1 year ago

We've reached the third Level and Kenny Tran is in the lead.

Jonathan Jaffe grabbed the lead from Kenny in the 36th and largest hand of the match so far. From the button Jaffe made it $48,000 to go and Tran came over the top making $143,000 total.

Jaffe made the call sending the two to the Ks 10s 4c flop where Tran lead out for another $175k. Jaffe smooth called and the Qs turn forced Tran to slow down. He checked allowing Jaffe to lead out for $175k. Tran counted his chips and made the call before the 10h river fell. Tran passed again, but Jaffe had no more ammunition to throw at him, checking it down.

In the end, Kenny's A-Q was beaten by Jonathan's K-J and the lead had swapped hands.

Tran fought back though and took the lead again without a showdown. Jaffe made it 48,000 to go on the button and Tran re-raised it up to $168k.

Jaffe looked like he was planning a move, but just called. The Kc 8s 5h flop brought a $150k continuation bet from Tran which Jaffe called. The 3c turn didn't slow Tran down a bit as he sent a $250k bet in the middle, forcing Jaffe to fold and relinquish his short live lead.

Event 25 - The First Level 1 year ago

Jonathan Jaffe came out like a house on fire winning the first seven hands of the match and grabbing the chip lead. However, Kenny Tran got back on track and eventually took 14 of the first 26 hands to build a lead of his own.

The biggest hand of the first level played out right near the end with Jaffe making it $36k on the button. Tran called and checked the Kh 10c 3d flop. Jaffe fired $52,000 at it, but Tran smooth called.
The turn came the 8s and Tran checked again. Jaffe bet out $92,000 this time around, but Tran pulled the trigger on a check raise making it $242,000 total. Jaffe took his time, but made the call and the river fell the innocuous looking 2c.

Tran wasted little time sending a $500,000 bet across the line and faced with the biggest decision of the match so far, Jaffe laid it down.

Right now Tran has $1.5 million to Jaffe's $1 million and change.
