Jonathan Jaffe has been running over the field in this Day 4 of the WPT Montreal, and we’ve rarely seen him get out of line, but he just backed into a monster to lose a quarter of his stack.

Ratharam Sivagnanam opened to 120,000 from early position, and Jonathan 3bet to 300,000 from the button. Ratharam then 4bet to 780,000, to which Jonathan replied with a 5bet all-in. Ratharam made the quick call, and was well ahead preflop.

Ratharam: Queen of Spades Queen of Clubs

Jonathan: Ace of Hearts 9 of Hearts

Although Jonathan made the nut flush, it was second best to Ratharam’s full house on the 6 of Hearts Queen of Hearts Jack of Spades 6 of Diamonds 2 of Hearts board. With that pot, Ratharam now sits on just over 5 million in chips.
