Jaka Can't Beat Ace-High

We really h ave to wonder if Will Failla thought he was going to win a recent when Faraz Jaka called Failla's river bet. Failla had bet 4,000 into a 6,000 pot on the turn, with the board showing {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. Jaka, in position, called that bet to see the {8-Spades} hit the river. Failla then made a half-pot bet of 7,000 and again Jaka called.

"Ace-queen," said Failla. He did not table his hand. Jaka then said something that we couldn't hear, but in response Failla tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for unimproved ace-queen. Jaka mucked, allowing Failla to drag the pot and climb to 52,000. Jaka is down to 61,000.
