2012 WSOP: DAY 38 RECAP - NOT THAT FAST! JAFFE HAS TO WORK FOR BRACELET


EVENT #54 |
1K NO-LIMIT HOLD'EM |
3,221 ENTRIES | 2.89M PRIZEPOOL


William Jaffe (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-42nd) had hoped that his meaningful chip lead heading into extra day play in the latest 1K NLH event would help make today a walk in the park.

Well, things didn't go as planned as on one of the first hands of heads-up play, Jaffe's opponent, Luis Campelo (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-142nd), spiked a miracle deuce on the river to make him trips, besting Jaffe's two pair ... the rail, filled with Brazilians - all here to support their countryman - erupted in celebration with cheers and chants. The players were now almost even in chips.

Jaffe, however, managed to get things back under control and eventually was able to eliminate Campelo and collect the bracelet!

WSOP Circuit Rincon Champion Joseph Kuether (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 104th) continued his strong 2012 campaign earning his fourth PTPR score of the season with his third place finish.

Brett Schwertley, Benjamin Volpe, David "Bakes" Baker and John Eames all earned Top 18 finishes in the event.
