Jaka (Nearly) Doubles

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

On a flop reading {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}, a player from the big and Faraz Jaka appeared to have gotten into a raising war, with Jaka being the last to go all-in for a little over 4,000. His opponent seemed reluctant, but eventually slid his remaining stack into the middle.

Jaka: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Jaka's opponent would need a ten to survive, but the {8-Hearts} turn and {9-Diamonds} bricked, sending him to the rail and chipping Jaka up to 8,200.
