Little Doubles and Retakes the Lead
by Court on 11.12.08, 1:41 am
After getting down more than 3 to 1 in the chip counts, Jonathan “FieryJustice” Little has rallied and gotten back even in chips, currently sitting with a very small chip lead over Jonathan Jaffe.
In a pot where Jaffe limped in and Little checked his option the flop came K
7
4. Little bet 200k on the flop and Jaffe made the call. Little bet 350k on the 5
turn and was against called. With the pot growing the river came the Q and Little checked over to Jaffe. His check induced a bet of 260k and Little then moved in over the top for and additional 1.7 million. Little had started the hand with just over 2.7 million chips and once Jaffe made the call the pot in the middle grew to 5.5 million.
Jaffe had the J7 for a pair of sevens, but Little had flopped two pair with the 74 and got a big double up to get him back up in the chip counts. After that hand Little was down about 1.3 million in chips but over the next 15 hands the two went back and forth at about 6 million each with Little recently taking a lead of about 200k over Jaffe, which is basically a tie with the blinds at 60k / 120k and a 15k ante.
