Faraz Jaka: A♠J♥

Jaka Extends Chip Lead Over Mamut
Level 55
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Action picked up on a board showing 2♥9♠J♦10♦ with the river card yet to arrive.
Nikolai Mamut held 3♦2♦ for bottom pair, while Faraz Jaka had 10♣7♣ for second pair.
The dealer placed 10♠ on the river, giving Jaka trip 10s and he moved all in. Mamut asked the dealer for a count, and then stood up with both hands on the rail.
After a few moments, Mamut eventually folded and watched as the dealer pushed the pot to Jaka, who extended his chip lead after recently doubling up his opponent.

Artur Martirosian Eliminated in 4th Place ($180,000)
Level 55
: 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Artur Martirosian raised on the button to 100,000 and Darius Samual placed out a stack of large denomination chips, putting Martirosian all-in, who had roughly 1,700,000 behind. Martirosian made the call.
Artur Martirosian: A♦10♦
Darius Samual: A♥K♦
The flop of 6♥6♦K♥ offered no help to Martirosian, who was now even further behind. The 3♦ turn gave him a glimmer of hope, picking up a flush draw. His quest for his third bracelet was still alive, until the J♥ river sealed his fate.
Martirosian finishes in fourth place for $180,000 and Samual advances to the finals in hopes of winning his first WSOP bracelet.
