Jaka Applies Pressure

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Faraz Jaka
Faraz Jaka

Faraz Jaka opened to 3,400 from middle position and was called by a player on the button. The blinds got out of the way to send the two players heads-up to the flop.

Jaka check-called a bet from his opponent on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Action then checked through the {2-Clubs} turn to the {j-Clubs} river, where Jaka wasted little time before betting enough to put the player on the button all in. His opponent instantly mucked their hand to keep Jaka chipping up.

Nobody Wants to Call Miller

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player opened to 3,200 from early position and Jacob Miller moved all in for 22,200 from middle position. Action folded back around to the early position raiser who open folded {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

The very next hand Marle Spragg opened under the gun to 3,500 and once again Miller jammed, this time for 28,000. The remaining players got out of the way, though the big blind did seem to consider a call. Spragg also folded to send a second consecutive pot Miller's way.
