Jaffe Flops a Set to Double Through Sternheimer
Level 17
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jonathan Jaffe raised to 175,000 from under the gun and Philip Sternheimer three-bet shoved for over 3,000,000 from the small blind. Once the big blind folded, Jaffe called for his stack of 2,485,000.
Jonathan Jaffe: J?J? 
Philip Sternheimer: A?K?
Both caught a piece of the J?A?7? flop but it was Jaffe's set of jacks that was way in the lead. The 6? turn meant Sternheimer was drawing dead, and the inconsequential 4? filled out the board.
