First Five with First-Time World Series of Poker Bracelet Winner Will Jaffe
Despite Luis Campelo��s boisterous Brazilian rail, so loud that the match had to be moved from the Amazon Room to the Pavilion as to not disturb neighboring tables, Will Jaffe��s rail was not to be outdone. With chants of ��USA! USA! USA!�� showering down on the Long Island native, Jaffe finished off Campelo heads-up. For winning, Jaffe will take home $500,075 and his first WSOP bracelet. We caught up with Jaffe moments after his win in Event #54: $1,000 No-Limit Hold��em.

This is not real!

I called my mom already.
What was the first significant turning point for you at the final table?
When we were three handed, me and another player Joe Joseph Kuether] and [Luis Campelo], I stacked Joe, which was a huge momentum swing for me since he was the player I was most worried about.
What��s the first thing you��re going to do to celebrate?
We��re gonna party!
Who was the first person to congratulate you after wining?
My girlfriend and then my whole rail joined in.
