Jaka Cut Down by Pocket Eights

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Faraz Jaka opened to 5,000 from middle position and action folded around to the player on the button, who shoved for their last 60,000. It was folded back to Jaka, who called to put his opponent at risk.

Jaka: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Button: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Jaka was well ahead, but the {8-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop gave his opponent a set and a commanding lead.

The {a-Clubs} turn and {4-Hearts} river were of no help and Jaka's opponent doubled through him.
