Jaka Building Up

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante

Catching up on the turn there was about 8,400 already in the pot with the board showing {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Faraz Jaka's only opponent had checked over to him. Jaka put out a bet of 6,500 and his opponent called.

The river was the {4-Clubs} which prompted a check from both players. Jaka's opponent showed {8-Hearts}{6-Spades} for one pair, but Jaka had him beat with {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for a better pair. That allowed him to take down the pot and move over 60,000 chips.
