Jaka Nursing a Short Stack

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Faraz Jaka was just down to his last 2,700 and re-shoved it in the small blind over an open to 1,500 from the player on the button. The big blind folded and then the player on the button called.

Faraz Jaka: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {6-Diamonds}{x-}

Jaka's opponent's second card was directly beneath his first and not visible, causing a couple of players at the table to ask what it was as the board ran out {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

Jaka's opponent did not reach for chips or make any gesture towards winning the pot, signaling that Jaka's ace-king high was best. The dealer reached over and slid the top card off of the one underneath it, revealing {k-Spades} to confirm that Jaka's jack kicker earned him the double to stay alive.
