Cary Katz min-raises from the cutoff to 40,000, and Jonathan Jaffe calls from the big blind.

The flop comes Spade 5Diamond 3Diamond 2, Jaffe bets 30,000, Katz raises to 125,000, and Jaffe thinks for a while before he raises to 290,000. Katz four-bets all in for about 800,000, and Jaffe quickly calls with Club 6Club 4 for a six-high straight.

Katz turns over Spade ASpade 4 for a five-high straight, and needs to catch a six or running-spades to stay alive.

“Oh, that’s so sick,” says Katz.

The turn card is the Club 7, the river card is the Diamond Q, and Jaffe wins the pot with his higher straight to eliminate Katz in 10th place.
