Jac Arama Rebounds on Bubble

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jac Arama is making a huge comeback around the bubble. At one stage Arama was down to under 2,000 in chips but he now sits comfortably with about 20,000.

In a recent pot he had the last of his chips in the middle on a board of {8-Clubs}

and showed {2-Clubs}

to scoop with the nut low and trips for the high.

Aggression on the bubble is paying dividens for Arama.
