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.

Liviu "0Human0" Ignat opened for 1,000 from early position and Benny Spindler called from middle position. Lebanon's Hady El Asmar then three-bet to 2,900 from the hijack, Liviu four-bet to 6,700, and Spindler got out of the way. El Asmar made the call and then moved all in after Liviu led out for 2,500 on the 
flop.
That sent the online player into the tank, and eventually someone at the table called for a clock. The floor counted off 52 seconds before Ignat released his hand.

With one of the largest stacks within the Salles des Etoiles, 2014 WSOP Main Event runner-up Felix Stephensen can afford to play aggressively.

"The problem," he explained to his opponent, "Is that if I call and I am bluffing against you, it's not good for me."
"I think you had kicker problems," came Stephensen's reply.
