Battle of Junk Cards Goes in Samual’s Favor
The hand started off innocently enough.
Darius Samual limped from the button with 7♠4♥, and Faraz Jaka checked his option at the big blind with 6♠3♠.
The dealer fanned 3♥4♠Q♦ on the board, giving both players a piece. Jaka checked his bottom pair, leading to Samual to bet 80,000 on his middle pair. Jaka called.
The turn then provided fireworks after 7♦ appeared on the board, which gave Samual two pair. Meanwhile, Jaka still had bottom pair, but picked up a gut-shot straight draw.
Jaka checked, prompting Samual to bet 250,000. Jaka came over the top with a check-raise of 750,000, which bloated the pot to 1,320,000.
The action caused Samual to momentarily pause, but he responded in kind by announcing an all-in bet. Jaka promptly folded his hand and the dealer pushed the pot to Samual.
