FSPC Event #14 (Day 3): Jaffe Extends Chip Lead, After Knocking Out Steve Fox In 15th Place ($9,632)

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #14 | $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 23 (Blinds 15,000/25,000/25,000)
Total Event #14 Entries: 564
Event #14 Players Remaining: 14


Steve Fox (Mason, MI) recorded his first ever Isle Casino tournament cash just moments ago, adding to lifetime earnings of $74,005.

For someone who returned with one of the shortest stacks, Steve Fox (Mason, MI) experienced a lot of Day 3 ups-and-downs.  Fox would lose most of his stack in the Ashkenazi/Aron/Fox three-way all-in, but was then able to double through Aron just an orbit later.  Moments ago, after Perfilev opened to 50,000, Fox would three-bet shove for 560,000.  Action folded around to Jonathan Jaffe, who made the call, which was followed by Perfilev releasing his hand:

Fox: 4♠ 4♣
Jaffe: 9♠ 9

Runout: Q♣ 6♣ 2♠ 8♠ 10

Fox would stand from the table before the runout began, and after the flop, starting to wish everyone good luck.  "It was really nice playing with you guys," Fox would say, before heading to the podium (to collect his $9,632 prize money).

Jaffe is now up to 3,500,000, and holds almost 25% of the chips in play.
