FSPC Event #14 (Day 3): Jonathan Jaffe Knocks Out Michael Moreno In 7th Place ($24,365), Wins Largest Pot Of The Tournament

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #14 | $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/50,000)
Total Event #14 Entries: 564
Event #14 Players Remaining: 6


Michael Moreno (Boca Raton, FL) earns his largest cash since 2012, but will be replaying his bustout hand in his head for a good while.

Jonathan Jaffe now had a very sizable chip lead, after eliminating Michale Moreno (Boca Raton, FL) in the pot of the day.  Moreno opened the action with a raise to 115,000, with Jonathan Jaffe three-betting (on the button) to 260,000.  After the players folded behind, Moreno pushed forward to stack of blue chips, equaling 1,015,000.  Jonathan got an exact count, and after about three minutes in the tank, made the call.

The dealer fanned out a flop of Q♣ 7♠ 2♣, with Moreno looking up at the dealer, and announcing that he was all-in (for just under 1,000,000).  Jaffee casually tossed a chip in the pot, and tabled A A♣, with Moreno begrudgingly rolling over A K.  Moreno needed a special turn and river to win the pot, but gained no hope on the turn, and would be drawing dead.

Jaffe chips up to 6,900,000 with the pot, and holds close to half of the chips in play.
