Faraz Jaka Eliminated in 22nd Place ($17,357)

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Faraz Jaka - 22nd Place ($17,357)
Faraz Jaka - 22nd Place ($17,357)

Faraz Jaka found the {q-}{j-} on the button and made the minimum raise. When Anthony Maio went for the three-bet pressure play from the big blind, Jaka decided to four-bet shove for his last 720,000. Maio snap-called with {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and Jaka was in bad shape with queen-high against two kings. He managed to improve on the {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} board, but his top pair was second-best, sending Jaka to the rail with a 22nd place finish.

Here is Jaka's succinct postmortem of the hand, courtesy of his recent post-bust tweet.
