Eracles: [Ad][Kd]

The [As] hit the river and Jaffe quickly announced he was all in.
Mitrokostas would again go into the tank, this time for well over 6 minutes. He continued to talk himself through the hand over and over again, apologizing for the table for taking so long. Eventually he would fold and Jaffe would show him the [Jh][2h] for a jack high flush.
