Third Pair is Good for Faraz Jaka

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante
Faraz Jaka
Faraz Jaka

Faraz Jaka lost a good chunk of his stack early on and is clawing his way back.

There was about 2,300 in the pot, on a board reading {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Jaka led out for 1,000 from the big blind. His opponent in middle position raised to 2,200.

Action was back on Jaka who thought about it for a moment and moved his 3,125 chip stack in the middle. His opponent asked, "Is that all in?" and laughed as he looked to see how much more it was for him to call. "I didn't see he had that little left", he said as he tossed in the remaining chips needed to call.

Jaka tabled {7-Spades}{9-Hearts} for third pair, while his opponent showed {q-Spades}{8-Spades} for queen-high.

Jaka's pair of sevens held as the {4-Hearts} fell on the river, giving him the double up he needed to stay alive.
