We caught up on the flop in a hand between Lonnie Hallett (small blind) and Jonathan Jaffe (big blind). With already a considerable amount of chips in the middle, Lonnie check-raised to 355,000 on a 5 of Hearts 2 of Spades 9 of Diamonds board, and snap called when Jonathan moved in over the top.

Lonnie: 5 of Spades 5 of Clubs

Jonathan: Ace of Diamonds Queen of Spades

Drawing very slim, Jonathan didn’t find any miracle cards, as the dealer rung out the Jack of Spades and the 10 of Diamonds. Jonathan handed over the 1,100,000 that Lonnie had behind, taking him out of the chip lead of the tournament. Both players are now sitting on stacks hovering around the 2,600,000 mark.
