"Nice River" for Jaka
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Elvyn Bello opened to 55,000 with A♣7♠ on the button, finding calls from Faraz Jaka with Q♠J♣ in the small blind and Michael Nia holding A♥10♠ in the big blind.
All three players checked through the Q♥8♥4♣ flop and the dealer flipped over the A♠ turn. Jaka and Nia checked and Bello fired 85,000 into the middle.
Jaka called and Nia followed suit, with the J♠ falling on the river. Jaka checked his two pair, while Nia declined to bet his pair of aces and Bello also checked it down.
Jaka showed his queens and jacks, picking up a nice pot.
"Nice river," said Nia as Jaka stacked some new chips.
