On the last hand before the break, Steven Veneziano opened to 23,000 from under the gun and was called by Chance Kornuth in the hijack and Koray Aldemir on the button. Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 115,000 from the small blind and all three players called.
The flop came J?6?4? and Jaffe continued with a bet of 135,000. Veneziano called, Kornuth stepped aside, and Aldemir also called. The turn was the 5? and Jaffe checked this time. Veneziano tossed in a bet of 135,000 and Aldemir called while Jaffe got out of the way.
The J? paired the board on the river and Veneziano splashed in a bet of 550,000. Aldemir used one of his time banks and then pushed all of his chips into the middle, other than 1,000. Veneziano wasted little time before throwing his cards away and Aldemir stacked the pot well into the break.
