A Fine Start for Faraz

Tom Marchese raised before the flop, and he found calls from Faraz Jaka and a gentleman in the big blind. Three-handed then, the flop came out 
rainbow, and Marchese continued out with 700 chips. Jaka raised to 2,000 straight, the big blind folded, and Marchese made the call.
That led the two pros heads up to the 
turn, and Marchese checked to the aggressor. Jaka fired again, 3,700 this time, and Marchese check-raised all in for about 12,000 or so. That's the last time he'd get to touch his chips. Jaka snapped with the 
, and Marchese's needed to fill up to keep him alive. It did not, though, and the raggy river sent him pacing over to tell his sob story to buddy William Reynolds at an adjacent table. We didn't hear the whole story, but we did hear Reynolds finish the conversation with a half-interested, "That's unfortunate, dude."
Jaka was likely the chip leader before that pot, and he's been given another big boost all the way up to about 81,000. Look out!
