Jaka Continues to Build
Earlier today Faraz Jaka was playing in PokerStars Shark Cage, which was filmed for broadcast later in the year. After that, and an afternoon nap, he jumped into the Main Event. It proved a wise decision as he's done nothing but build since then,
We asked Jaka, who is seated at the same table as big stack Felix Stephensen, how he acquired his chips. Jaka singled out one hand that had taken place not long ago.
According to him, a player raised to 1,500 from early position and Jaka called from the big blind with the 
. The 
flop was huge for Jaka, but the question was whether or not he'd get paid. At first it didn't appear so as it went check-check, but Jaka got a little when he bet 3,200 on the 
turn and got called.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Jaka fired out 8,200 and snap-called off his remaining 30,000 or so when he opponent moved all in with just 
for a bluff.
"Definitely an interesting hand," said Jaka.
