Jaka Leads the River

Josh Noy

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Evgeniy Tsyrenov opened from under the gun and Faraz Jaka defended his big blind.

Jaka checked the A♥7♥3♣ flop and Tsyrenov continued for 13,000. Jaka then check-raised to 40,000 and Tsyrenov took a few minutes before reraising to 88,000.

The call was made and both players checked through the 6♠ turn. The dealer then flipped over the 7♦ river and Jaka led out for 65,000.

After taking a moment, Tsyrenov let his hand go and Jaka raked in a sizeable pot.
