Early this morning, U.S. pro Jonathan Jaffe stood tall as the champion after having defeated Ratharam Sivagnanam heads-up on the 2014 partypoker WPT Montreal Main Event final table!
In the final hand (hand 135), Sivagnanam limped for 400k and Jaffe raised to 1.4 million. Sivagnanam considered his options for a few moments before moving all in for 5.2 million. Jaffe made the call with A
K and Sivagnanam turned over 10
8. The board was dealt 6
4
3JQ and Jaffe scooped the last pot, and the title, with his two over cards.
In total, Jaffe overcome a field of 732 players over 5 days of play to claim his first World Poker Tour title! What makes his performance a bit extraordinary is that he held the chip lead during the final 3 days of the tournament! How often does that happen in a major poker tournament?
