Jaka One of Sixteen

Faraz Jaka opened up a big lead on Nicholas Rampone, big enough that both players were just open-shoving preflop on most hands.

On the final hand, it was Jaka shoving from the button, and Rampone finally found a hand to call with. He put his last 57,500 chips into the pot with {A-Hearts} {4-Spades}, just out in front of Jaka's {K-Spades} {8-Diamonds}.

If hold'em was a four-card game, Rampone would still be alive. As it turns out, though, the board of {6-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} was unkind at the very end, and Rampone has been eliminated.

He and Jaka shook hands, and they both commended each other on their play and how much they enjoyed the battle. Only one of them can advance, though, and it's Faraz Jaka who we'll see again in the next round.
