Jaka Saved By the River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Faraz Jaka raised all in for 6,000 from under the gun, and when it folded to the button Joshua Timler, he made the call. Both of the blinds folded leaving the two players heads up, with Jaka at risk.
Faraz Jaka: A♦4♥ 
Joshua Timler: 3♦3♣
Timler was ahead with his pocket threes, but Jaka did have two over cards. After the flop came 3♥J♥7♥ it improved Timler to a set but it gave Jaka a flush draw as well. The 6♦ on the turn also gave Jaka additional outs with a straight draw. That straight draw came right in on the river when the 5♠ hit the felt, to improve Jaka to a seven high straight, and secure the double up.
