Jaka Hits a Miracle Queen to Stay Alive
Level 30
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Sam Soverel limped on the button for 10,000, before Faraz Jaka raised to make it 28,000. Soverel immediately jammed all-in to put Jaka at risk for his last 216,000. Jaka flicked in a chip to make the call.
Faraz Jaka A♦Q♦
Sam Soverel A♠K♥
Needing to improve to stay alive, the flop ran off6♥A♥8♦. Although Jaka hit his Ace, he would still need help, and after the 4♣ on the turn, he was down to just three outs. However, Jaka's heads-up tournament would not come to an end just yet, as the Q♠ rolled off on the river, to give Jaka top two pair, and the double-up.
