Jaka Not Joking

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}{5-Hearts}{4-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.
