Waxman Decides to Wait (For Now)

Shamus

Faraz Jaka open-shoved from the button, Sean Keeton folded the small blind, and Matt Waxman stood up to ask Jaka how much he had. Waxman was the short stack, but he wanted to get an idea anyhow.

Jaka had about 1.8 million behind, while Waxman only had 700,000. Waxman exhaled, rechecked his cards, and let it go.

Two Good Hands In One

Shamus

In the first hand of the new level, Faraz Jaka opened with a raise to 150,000 from the button, then Sean Keeton reraised to 450,000 from the small blind. Next Jonas Wexler pushed all in from the big blind -- 1,505,000 total. Jaka folded, and Keeton went into the tank.

Keeton had just over 2 million left behind, so calling would mean committing a little over half of his stack. He stared upward in thought, then finally let it go.

"Good hand, Sean," said his supporters. "Nice one, Jonas," said his.

Wexler is now at 2.25 million.

, and both checked. Both also checked the {7-Hearts}

turn. The river brought the {Q-Hearts}

, Keeton bet 500,000, and Brikis quickly folded.

Jaka Not Joking

Shamus

The table folded to Faraz Jaka who raised to 125,000 from the small blind, and Sean Keeton made the call from the big blind.

The flop came single-suited -- {8-Hearts}

. Jaka thought a moment, then pushed out nine green (25000) chips for a bet of 225,000. Keeton called without much hesitation.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}

, pairing the board. This time Jaka checked, Keeton very quickly bet 500,000, and Jaka called instantly.

The river was the {9-Hearts}

, and Jaka paused a beat then confirmed his commitment to the hand by declaring he was all in. Keeton slowly lifted his card protector and used it to push his cards dealerward.

After that hand, both players are right around 2.9 million.
