It was another beautiful day for poker at the luxurious Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas and after just under six levels of play on Day 2 of PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Event #25: $50,000 8-Handed, Jonathan Jaffe of the United States emerged victorious for a payout of $194,814.
This event attracted six runners with two needing a reentry on Day 1 to create a prize pool of $389,664, with the top three players paid. Jaffe came into the day as the chip leader and kept his foot on the pedal throughout.
When asked how it felt to win his first PCA title, he replied, “It feels really good to finally get a trophy, although I did win a Heads-Up Battleship Tournament back in the day when we put our laptops together.”
Jaffe isn't really seen much these days in the live scene, and he explained why…
“Yeah, I really haven't been playing much lately, I've just been focusing mainly on private coaching.”

Day 2 Action
Only six players returned for Day 2 play, and although more entrants were expected, registration ended up closing early due to the bustout of Stephen Chidwick After losing the majority of his stack the previous hand to Kisacikoglu, Chidwick got it in with king-three against Davies’ king-ten and was sent to the rail after failing to connect.
Mikita Badziakouski was next to exit in fifth as he ran his ace-three suited into Davies’ ace-king and failed to improve.
After a couple of big hands, Jaffe regained the chip lead and began taking control of the table, putting pressure on the smaller stacks. He then eliminated Daniel Dvoress on the money bubble when he turned trips with his king-nine against Dvoress’ ace-seven.
Jaffe’s next victim was Davies, who decided to get it in with his pocket sevens after being faced with an open-jam from Jaffe. Jaffe was behind with his king-five, but a king appeared on the flop to give him the lead. The board bricked out for Davies and he was eliminated in third.
Heads-up play between Jaffe and Kisacikoglu only lasted for half a level before Kisacikoglu check-raised all in on the turn with a straight and flush draw while Jaffe had a pair of queens. Another queen on the river was the nail in the coffin for Kisacikoglu and he was eliminated in second as Jaffe was announced the winner.
“The $25,000 should be starting soon, right?” the players asked, eager to get back in the mix.
