Stein bet 7,600 and Jaka took a minute before making the call. Stein showed {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Jaka tabled {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for aces and queens to win another pot.

Bachy Bluffed by Jaka

Jaka with the bluff
Jaka with the bluff
Matt Glantz raised to 3,000 from middle position before action moved over to Faraz Jaka on the button. He reraised to 8,000. Luis "Bachy" Vazquez made the call out of the small blind and Glantz folded, leaving Vazquez and Jaka heads up to the flop.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Vazquez checked. Jaka checked behind. The turn paired the board with the {J-Spades} and Vazquez fired 11,000. Jaka made the call before the river card produced the {6-Clubs}. Vazquez fired 19,000. Jaka took a moment and then raised, making it 81,000 to go. Vazquez went into the tank for a little while. He seemed really confused by the raise from Jaka and eventually folded his hand, showing that he was letting the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} go. Jaka showed only the {3-Clubs}, meaning there was no way he could beat Vazquez's trip jacks.

Jaka is up to 223,000 while "Bachy" slips to 77,600.

Glantz Dodges Jaka's Quads

Matt Glantz raised to 2,700 on the button and Faraz Jaka defended his big blind.

The flop came down {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Jaka checked. Glantz bet 3,500 and was quickly raised to 8,500 by Jaka. Glantz called and the turn was the {Q-Hearts}. Jaka bet 13,000 and Glantz didn't go anywhere, making the call. The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Jaka checked. Glantz checked behind and Jaka tabled {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} having made quads on the river, but was unable to get Glantz to bite.

Jaka is the early chip leader.
