Nia Bounces Back
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Michael Nia opened to 65,000 on the button with Q♣J♣, with Faraz Jaka defending his big blind holding K♥5♣.
Jaka checked the 5♥3♣3♥ flop and called when Nia continued for 110,000. Jaka checked again after Nia took the lead on the J♠ turn.
The Q♥ river saw Nia make two pair, with Jaka leading out for 100,000. Nia announced a raise to 375,000 and Jaka took some time before tossing in the call.
Nia showed Jaka the bad news and recovered some lost chips.
