Putting the H-U-R-T in Hurwitz & On Opponents

Jeffrey Hurwitz (New Haven, CT) moves all in against Andrew Jeffrey (Mansfield, OH) with the board showing 9♠ Q♠ 5♥ 4♦ 6♣.  It's a big bet and into a big pot and Andrew Jeffrey, who is at risk, makes the call.

Hurwitz turns over pocket 9s for a flopped set and Andrew Jeffrey mucks.  Hurwitz is the clear chip leader at 240k and says, "can I just bag these for tomorrow?"

Will "The Thrill" Failla (Commack, NY), says, "all he does is play big pots and then nukes them.  You keep flopping middle set, you'll do alright."

Andrew Jeffrey, who ships 100k in the hand, has two runner-up finishes in the series, earning $77,000 at the Borgata Poker Open; he's currently third in the Borgata Leader Board Standings and tweets
