Faraz Finished

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

The under the gun player raised to 800 and managed a caller from middle position before the action came to Faraz Jaka on the button. Jaka decided it was his time and shoved for 8,750. With play back on the under the gun player, he re-shoved for 12,425. The middle position player then went into the tank. With the break looming the player eventually folded, mucking {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} face-up.

Jaka: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{a-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}, the ace on the river dealing the knock-out blow to Jaka who is sent home right before dinner.

An interesting conversation started after the hand between the player folding {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Mike Matusow. Matusow commented on how tough the spot was indicting he was definitely either flipping or crushed and the fold was good. That was all the middle position player needed and said "If Mike said it was a good fold, that's all I need!", and went off merrily to his dinner break.
