Online Poker -- Interview With Jonathan 'Iftarii' JaffeJaffe Talks About WCOOP Heads-Up High Roller Win |
|
Each week, Card Player TV brings you the Online Zone, a glimpse into the world of high-stakes online tournament players.
Jonathan “Iftarii” Jaffe primarily focuses his game on high-stakes heads-up sit-and-gos, but that hasn’t stopped him from making his mark on the tournament scene, going deep at the World Series of Poker, making a World Poker Tour final table, and now winning a World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) title.
In a very short amount of time, Jaffe has established himself as one of the best heads-up no-limit hold’em players in the world. Jaffe further cemented his reputation as he tore through a stacked field of high rollers in the $25,000 heads-up tournament to earn his first WCOOP bracelet and $315,000.
Jaffe joined us to talk about his win and the stiff competition he faced along the way.
